Where are we with flexi screens?

>Mobile devices use touch screens that are much smaller than desktop screens<

I appreciate what you say re large screen & small screen, but are we not close to the moment when a screen could be unfolded, from pocket size to a decent sized screen and virtual keyboard?

In this mode, the phone would be the PC.

It would be a full sized laptop in the pocket, obviating the need for an oversize phablet.

Given that the phone was truly 'powerful' as a PC, I would definitely buy such a kit.

Presumably, it would need a hydrogen fuel cell, but that's already on the horizon.

Surely this potential is close to being realised...... or not?
