New form factors such as folding displays are hoped to help change this.

Ben Wood, CCS Insight’s chief analyst, said: “It shows the rapid innovation in flexible display technology, with many concept products that experiment with a variety of forms.”

The device comes at a difficult time for smartphone manufacturers.

Sales in the mobile industry declined 11.3% last year as consumers tightened up their budgets. This trend has continued as people hold onto their phones longer, as major phone manufacturers’ upgrades are only incremental.

Lenovo, Motorola’s parent company, unveiled this week a rollable computer at its conference. The laptop, like the phone rises slowly vertically to allow you to see more web pages or multiple apps on one screen.

The US government filed the ad tech lawsuit in January and has argued that Google should sell its ad manager suite, taking the route of the court. The tech company has refused any wrongdoing.

The company Google has made the latest attempt to end time-consuming and costly antitrust lawsuits by filing a motion. Additionally, Google has requested Washington’s federal court to dismiss the claims made in a 2020 lawsuit filed by the government.

Eric Mahr argued for Google. Mahr stated that the Justice Department failed to allege a high enough market share, specifically 70% of the hard market power of Google.

Judge Leonie Brinkema said in a federal court in Virginia, “I’m going to deny the defendant’s motion to dismiss,”. Google is a unit of Alphabet Inc. Mahr argued that the government had reviewed Google’s deals to buy DoubleClick and Admeld, both more than 10 years ago, to increase its clout in ad tech. However, there were factors beyond market share to consider, such as whether a company engaged in “rapacious conduct”. Mahr’s argument was countered by the government, which admitted it had made a mistake.”

Eric Mahr argued for the company. He argued that the Justice Department could not present evidence that advertisers suffered any financial damage due to Google’s action. He mentioned that the government erroneously excluded Facebook and others from its definition of the market. Eric Mahr referred to Facebook and others as “obvious substitutes.”

The US will put the responsibility on those organizations in the digital ecosystem which are best placed to minimize risk and move the consequences of poor cybersecurity away from the most feeble “in order to make our digital ecosystem more trustworthy”.

The country has lately been the victim of several nation-state cyber attacks on its industry and government organizations, especially from China-based cyber attacks.
