News4Me: Readius goes on trial with Deutsche Telekom?
Dubbed News4Me, Deutsche Telekom is going to launch the trial of an e-news project in Germany this coming fall.
From Spiegel: Quote:
Of course, this is complete unsubstantiated speculation, but it certainly isn't out of the realm of possibility. Thanks to beachwanderer for the tip! Related: Polymer Vision Readius to debut this fall, Mobileread Interview: Karl McGoldrick, CEO of Polymer Vision |

I look forward to the Readius. I hope they will allow people outside of Europe to buy it. PPC Reader is VERY HIGH on my list.....

i can't decide whether to be disappointed this beta-test will be in germany, and i will therefore not even be able to apply, or relieved, since that will save me the further disappointment of being refused for the test as i was by orange for read and go and SFR for their beta test as well.
if bouygues does a beta-test with readius in france i might even sign a contract with them just to try it out. |

ooooh, 150 people got to test the service with TABLET PCs !!!
Since most of us know that reading is best done on a dedicated eReader, or at least a PDA, this test will probably only show the Telekom, that people do not like to read on PCs, so they'll drop it. |

It sure looks like a Readius they are showing in the pdf presentation.
Also interesting is the future timeline for reading devices. 2-7 years from now: always online color eink readers 5+ years: always online flexible color device 10 + years: text is read to you by a flexible full color sexy Ninja! ... perhaps I am projecting on that last one... |
