Well what do you say to that!
If Axel Springer gets behind this it'll get interesting...I don#t like htem, but they have influence and money...lots of it...
What bothers me a bit is his high expactations (color, foldable, rollable, no batteries, touchscreen, cheap,...) and his timeframe.
If he puts his lowest estimate at 5 years, he's being very conservative.
Reproducing magazines that have glossy photographs and stuff could take 2 years, but I wouldn't say more. Newspapers should be even faster. Touchscreen is already possible, you'd have to try it on a bendable display..I'm not too sure about that...and low power consumption, printable battereis and stuff are already there. You'd need somebody to put it all together.,
To get there you need a market, and this market can only be created if content is created. So I hope Axel Springer is not planning on waiting for everything to get there before they start getting interested...because then it could indeed take 25 years.
Luckily iRex seems to be getting quite a few newspaper companies together, so things could still work out ok.
