"It won’t be SIM-locked?

Well, it is one of the areas I am working on. But my ultimate goal is that, whatever else, the solution will be very easy. I want to make it as easy and transparent as possible for the customer to start using it."

He also talks about still being in discussion with telephone companies. I am really worried that the Readius may end up being limited by the commercial deals PolymerVision strikes. For example being SIM locked to providers, who you can imagine will require 18 month data tariffs.

Have they also discussed whether ContentWorld will be the only content provider for the Readius? I am worried that it will only sync (at least over the air) with ContentWorld, which Polyervision can control and charge for.

Lets hope soon enough they can be clear on these issues.
