It’s been rumored that Microsoft will release their own folding tablet / smartphone either in the coming year, running Andromeda OS, which is apparently a part of Windows Core OS. There’s no official word on the hardware, but industrial designer Ryan Smalley gives us his take on the Microsoft Surface Note. Simply put, just fold it in phone mode, and open the display to reveal the larger format for use as a tablet.

This design feels incredibly natural, given how familiar users are with Microsoft’s Windows OS, while the larger screen’s functionality is further enhanced with the presence of the Surface Stylus. The accessory is even allowed to be carried ‘inside’ the Surface by simply wedging it in like a bookmark.
