You are right about that "dynamic form" might be the prime feature in some
products, and somewhat hard to compare with other products.
My aim was more towards using dynamic form for subtle secondary features,
e.g. animating the cover material by changing the structure (granularity
etc) on a mobile phone as a complement to the ring signal or vibration.

My work for the next year will be just that - to find examples for
clarification.
