I’m not sure this is really a novel idea – I have a wallet that folds in exactly the same way.

Interesting concept, but it’s frustrating that a company can patent something they have no intention of producing themselves and will simply make money off others who actually do. It’s a separate argument, but patents should only be awarded for idea + implementation, not idea alone, IMO.

Uhm… Tablets are only making their debut now because this is where the technology has gotten us, not because Apple is any more forward-thinking or creative than the next guy. This fold out screen is quite an interesting concept, but will probably just be one more way of doing collapsible screens, especially with bendy OLED and bendy graphine multitouch sensors. All in good time.
