I don't think anyone ever doubted there was a big market for folding phones
The first truly successful (selling over 10 million, let's say) one won't look anything like these. It won't unfold into a square screen, that's for sure! Some sort of trifold or fanfold so you get a proper aspect ratio for playing videos (which is the #1 usage for tablets) is required, and we'll need better batteries so it can be as light as current models. Still a few years to go, but in the meantime we are going to see a lot of weird experimentation - sort of all the experiments with weird form factors in the pre-iPhone era until we settled on the modern 'rectangular slab of glass'.
