First announced way back in Sept 2005, Mobilemag.com (http://www.mobilemag.com) has video of the Phillips Readius device in action. For those of you new to the Readius, it's a roll-up 5" inch QVGA device which uses our beloved E Ink technology.

The mobilemag article and video are available here (http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/102/C9310/), the original Phillips Readius press release here (http://www.research.philips.com/newscenter/archive/2005/050902-rolldisp.html).

Is'nt Irex a spinoff of Phillips ?

Yep it is.

Thanks for the video link, Stu. I first wondered what's all the fuss about the Readius until I realized that it's probably the first time a video of it was shown.

Wow ... it's not a plasticky demo but an actual working device! :D ... oh wait, dun tell me it's going to be at $799 again ... :(

Sure! They said it will be in colour.

Thanks for the link, Stuart Young. :happy2:

epaper development is in progress. New products will be buyable in future.

Hmm... maybe the late Gene Roddenberry estate should sue... :D
