Video: Lenovo's Folio is a folding tablet concept

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

San Francisco- We've all seen folding and rolling OLED displays as early concepts for future technology. Lenovo showed off a complete and working tablet concept which it calls Folio. Running on a quad-core processor, the Folio can bend in half and also rearranges its user interface to fit the smaller form factor. It's a cool concept and one that extends the possibilities of the tablet/phablet form factor.

Apple expands cloud service support for iTunes U

The new version of iTunes U puts more cloud services to work. Version 3.3 now lets you add materials you’ve stored on cloud services like Box, Dropbox, and Google Drive. But you’ll need to have these non-iCloud services installed and signed in to import your files. If you’re a student, Apple’s Classroom app will now also guide you to specific iTunes U courses. Teachers, on the other hand, can also import class rosters from Apple School Manager. The app now also brings Explain Everything and Notability project files as course materials for the staff or hand-ins by students.
