| It's Wednesday, January 23, 2019. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. This morning, we’re looking at an impressive take on a “foldable” phone and counting Netflix’s Academy Award nominations. Plus, there’s a date for The Expanse on Amazon Prime, and Fender has a guitar that blurs the line between acoustic and electric. (View in browser.) You’ve gotta see this one in motion. We haven’t even seen Samsung’s Infinity Flex device yet, but the latest challenger comes from China’s Xiaomi. Its CEO posted a video on Weibo showing a tablet convertible that bends both sides back to shrink down for use as a phone. It’s an impressive trick, but we don’t know how quickly we’ll see anything like this on the market. | | Wasn’t this feature in the Galaxy S4? Actually touching your phone is just too much work. | | Good luck.

According to Roberto Baldwin, “It sounds like someone has placed a mic up to a traditional acoustic guitar, but you have the option to switch to electric whenever you want to kick out the jams.” | | Hulu’s ‘Best Documentary’ nod had nothing to do with the Fyre Festival. It won't surprise you to hear that Netflix is particularly eager for awards this year, and it looks like that thirst might pay off at the Oscars. Alfonso Cuarón's Roma is clearly a front runner after receiving no less than ten nominations, including Best Picture, Leading Actress (Yaliza Aparicio), Directing, Foreign Language Film, Supporting Actress (Marina de Tavira), Cinematography, Original Screenplay, Production Design, Sound Editing and Sound Mixing. | | Mark your calendar. Amazon announced the third season of sci-fi series The Expanse will be available for Prime members to stream starting February 8th. The first two seasons of the show, which originally aired on Syfy, are already available to watch on Amazon's streaming platform. Amazon has a fourth season of the show planned, which will be available later this year. | | But wait, there's more... | | | |
