7mm Thick, Flexible eBook Reader Unveiled Comments

Gone are the days of a newspaper, Soon we'll just have one of these connected wirelessly to the net getting the breaking news to read as it happens delivered straight to the eReader...nice.

No colour screen yet?

Amazing to get that flexibility in, and still retail a digital ink screen. I can see this being £400+ though which would be a shame.

Darn, and just when I thought I'd already decided on what I was buying myself for christmas this comes along and makes me want to wait.

Sorry Waterstones, perhaps you'll have to do without my money this winter.

I’m a designer of commercial print equipment, so imagine how depressing I found this presentation. **sad smiley**

This is very impressive but in some ways I’m surprised that it has taken so long for a commercial product to develop. When I was working for Xerox ten years ago I saw this kind of technology with a flexible LCD (connected to a bank of computers) on a working prototype and I imagined that it would happen a lot faster. Just add it to Ethernet, the mouse and the GUI as yet another thing that the propellorheads at Xerox invented and the management was too stupid to exploit. ** I’ve been here before and it was just as depressing then emoticon**

The constant use of the word ‘business’ in the presentation makes me think that the first generation products are going to cost about one bazillion Europounds each. I’m sure it will hit the consumer space within a couple of generations; I just hope it’s not going to have the Apple logo on it when it does.

That really is extremely cool.

Much cleaner design than the kindle or the sony readers. Really put off by the complexity of both those devices. If this thing shrinks down to paperback size in a generation or two then I'm sold,
