I often wake up in the morning and think "How can I make an idiot of myself, today?"
But this guy! He's got me beat five ways to Thursday.

He does wake up early, apparently. Gotta get a good start on that.

You're right.
I need an alarm ringtone that screams "TWITTER IS ON-LINE! TWITTER IS ON-LINE!"

I'm trying to come up with a way to overcharge customers for fast data so I can retire on a beautiful island. I think I will call it "Fee G".

I bet the race is on to trademark 7G, 8G, 9G, ...
Then someone will claim, "Ours is even better - we have 6H because H is better than G."
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

I want 7G as soon as possible

They need to make the internet go to 11.

Can Air force One really handle 6G?

It's just a bad firmware problem!

If the update bricks the left shoe, does that mean you have to jump everywhere on the right one?
If so, that's their new slogan: "Nike: Just Hop It!"

[^]Quote: Samsung is using a new 7.3-inch Infinity Flex Display that allows the phone itself to have a tablet-sized screen that can be folded to fit into a pocket. The main display is QXGA+ resolution (4.2:3), and when it’s folded, a smaller 4.6-inch HD+ (12:9) display is used for the phone mode. Samsung is using 512GB of Universal Flash Storage 3.0 (eUFS) for fast speeds, alongside a Qualcomm 7nm octa-core processor and 12GB of RAM. Samsung has even built two batteries for its Galaxy Fold, that are separated by the fold but combined in the Android operating system to represent a total of 4,380 mAh.
[^]Quote: Samsung put on a literal show on Wednesday, streaming the unveiling of its newest line of smartphones online for the world to see. The most startling new development in its line is the Galaxy Fold, a smartphone that literally folds into a tablet and back again, which would allow the user to view three apps at once, which is nothing compared to the Fold's six — yes, six — built-in cameras.

When I first saw folding mobile devices I thought "That's just a gimmick" but having seen this I have changed my mind and think that these could fill that gap of not having to buy a tablet and a phone.

But you can get a tablet and a phone for less than $2k.

My phone cost $40. I can get a Surface Go for $400 and still have enough left over to buy some Nike sneakers which don't work.

Eventually perhaps. We're several generations away from that point though. Currently they're not just stupidly expensive, but to keep the fatness in check they're using a single fold which means either a squarish tablet screen, or an unreasonably wide and short phone screen. Getting reasonable aspect ratios in both modes is going to need a 3 or 4 panel folding setup. To avoid being fatter than a book that's probably going to require wireless everything (as in too thin for a USB port) and a major hit on camera optics; or one normalish thickness slice and several extremely thin ones. The latter opens the room for major bending problems.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I find it telling that Samsung itself doesn't mention the size or weight of the thing.
iPhone X is 174g, 7mm thick
Samsung S9 is 163g, 8.3mm thick
Huawei Mate X is 295g, 11mm thick
Samsung Fold is probably well over 300g, 17mm thick
That's getting silly chunky. I'm going to wait until a design comes out that actually makes sensible use of the technology: foldable and slim so it actually fits in my pocket, but then it folds out to be a nice, spacious size for use when seriously working.
I don't need 6 cameras. I don't need 3 screens. Just a front and back screen, with the back screen blank until I unfold it then it comes to life to extend the front screen. Best of both worlds. The camera will sit in the notch, natch!

@ChrisMaunder These days, I don't even want pockets 
What I do want is an affordable two screen device about A3~A4 paper size that folds up. One screen OLED quality, the other lower-fi, or even e-ink. Windows full-on, run different apps in each screen, or allow one app to use both. Cellular, wi-fi, lotsa ports, 12+ hour battery life. Disable either screen depending.
Thickness and weight don't matter, for me.
cheers, Bill
