While the idea of a pocket surface is interesting, it probably needs to be released soon. Otherwise, other OEMs will beat MS to the punch, as some kind of already have. The Axiom M already is a foldable phone.

I do believe Samsung will beat them on first deploy of a foldable screen device

If MS is making a 2-piece screen, and Samsung makes a foldable one-piece screen, MS will lose again. A 2-piece screen isn't really "foldable". They might sell a few, but I can see people holding one up, then the other, then choosing the Samsung - in droves.

Fully agreed! Foldable is the sure winner. Whoever does it right first.

This seems to be an older thread, but I'm here after finally giving up on a small Surface device for my pocket. Unfortunately, I'll need something by the end of the year. Android phones with their various Windows apps look promising. I'm looking forward to using both Cortana and Alexa too.
