I'll believe it once I see the finished product, a transparent, paper thin screen that you can bend and that shows colors etc. For now it's a little too much sci-fi and just a concept. I'm sure that one day they'll be out with it but for now it just doesn't feel like the technology is there.

#2 true, but that's how most of the important things start out, i guess we'll just have to wait and see. If we in the future need this video for reference, i will place my bet on that within 5 years (from 5 june, 2014)we will have this in new technology hitting the user marked, such as cell phones, laptops, or whatever the gadget is in 5 years. I bet you an awesome, exclusive, personally made photoshop picture for you if I'm wrong (trust me, it takes sometimes a couple hours, so if you calculate it into potential working money, it should be worth 2 hours of design, which could be around 100 euro's. Not too shabby

#2 There are a few companies based in Cambridge (UK) which are currently working to bring this to market sooner than you think. One of the first (and albeit a bit trivial) applications is car seat warmer because Graphene heats up instantly (human scale). Jaguar is currently looking into integrating this technology in their cars.

#9 - That's like saying because an LED is smaller, it can't produce the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb. Different technologies store energy different ways. Moreover, the higher constructiveness of graphene means lower resistance, so you need less power to achieve the same thing.
