Does anyone know more? ScienceDaily has an article on flexible e-paper today, and they say that "two European companies are launching e-readers based on the FlexiDis technologies."

FlexiDis, or Flexible Displays, is a consortium of 20
European universities, research institutes, and
companies, including Philips, iRex, Polymer Vision, and Thales. The only device that I could think of that uses flexible display technology and could qualify as an e-book reader is the Polymer Vision Readius. Who else could be launching an FlexiDis e-reader soon? iRex perhaps?
