    Just about the only recent development that seems innovative in any way instead of just “ooooh many megapixels” or “oooohhh so thin!”

      I can’t recall who it was, either LG or Samsung, but I remember a device that had a screen that pulled/rolled out to become tablet size. I so wanted them to iterate on that idea.

        Ooooh I remember that, It was the LG Rollable!
        Unfortunately LG’s Mobile division went kaput. I have no idea if they sold off parts of it or the tech to anyone…

            it looked cool but people found it practically difficult to use, the mechanism used a lot of power and was fragile.

              Didn’t fold’s suck at first too?

              Thanks for the info BTW. I hadn’t followed the development, so the insight is appreciated.
