It was a supposed deal with the mobile operator Orange. And the idea was (from what i've read, anyway) for it to work very similar to Kindle, i.e. 3G OTA distribution of both e-books and e-papers, though the pilot was with e-paper subscriptions only.

Anyway, that was just two months ago, sometime around May, so something may still come from it.
