While once again dreaming about
A4 flexible e-ink display promised by the Plastic Logic to be delivered
in 2008, I have noticed that on 3 September they put out two new press releases concerning their future manufacturing operation in Dresden:
Plastic Logic Appoints Director of Quality
Plastic Logic Appoints Vice President, Manufacturing for Dresden Operations
While most of the releases is about the new appointees, whose appointments themselves might be significant signs of progress in preparations for the beginning of manufacturing, the first also says, "Following the topping-out ceremony last month, Plastic Logic is well on schedule to begin with production in the middle of next year." And furthermore, according to the second, "the construction of the production facilities is well on the way to completion in December of this year."
This looks like they are well on track and gives us a more precise information when to expect their products to be rolled out. I think it might reinforce hopes of all those dreaming of an A4 e-ink device, even though I know I am on the more optimistic end of the spectrum.
