Unlike last year event, this one
shouldn&t be taken as a pre-product announcement
Rather, the company says it &explor[ing] a range of new form factors in the foldable category.& It something that been pretty clear from the

up and stashed away in a pocket
Perhaps we&ll get more insight into the company plans as CES or MWC
