So that foldable Surface “phone” running Andromeda OS? Yeah, that was just a concept after all.

The Surface Phone and Andromeda OS have been shelved indefinitely(…)

Microsoft has (had the experience of designing for foldable form factor). It even has right at this moment many of the pieces that could be stitched up to make a Courier. Unfortunately, just having pieces doesn’t mean you can immediately make a whole.

Showcasing and demoing, wooing even, the technology concepts in development is always easy, relatively. Especially to the tech minding folks (I include myself in that) who tend to think forward and imagine the potential use cases for themselves.

But delivering a product with it for masses is difficult by magnitude. I guess however these product are just boring to lend any coverage.
