[Ed – as we have mentioned before the mobile market is becoming saturated a stale. Right now the race is over minor feature sets and processor speed with nothing truly new and innovative coming to the tablet. Let’s hope that flexible displays are not the only advances we can look forward to in 2013, or we could see the Smartphone market start to stumble…]
