In a surprise bit of news out of
PC Magazine, the rollup displays we have
mentioned previously are apparently ready to roll out right on schedule.
According to the article, "The Readius appears to have the slickest design of any e-book reader yet—straight out of Minority Report. As shown, the flexible display folds up like a scroll; when you're not reading, it's as pocket-friendly as a pack of gum.
Sony will have the jump on Philips, though, as the two gadgets square off. Third-party designs of the Readius won't ship until the summer. If these two products don't herald the age of e-books, nothing will."
Could this new era in e-books really finally be here?
