Since curved Smart TV and curved smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy Round and LG G Flex have already been pushed out on the market, what is there left to conquer?

Well tablets, certainly. Asian site MovePlayer has managed to get its hands on a Samsung patent that seemingly details the first curved tablet, the Galaxy Tab Round.

Apparently, the design of the possible tablet is based on the Galaxy TabPRO 8.4-inch, that has just been unveiled at CES 2014.

Samsung has filed the first patent for a tablet with a curved or flexible display back in 2012 in with Patent Registration No. 30-0640758.

Also back in February 2013, Samsung filed another patent application for a tablet with a folded shape. While patents aren't an absolute indication of a product being headed for the market, I certainly hope we might get to see these reference designs become reality in the near future.
