A little digging reveals that this is a product devised by Gajah International, a company based in the National University of Singapore. The website was acquired in May this year, and they've been demonstrating at trade shows in Taipei and Hong Kong. They're an industrial design outfit with a number of nice looking product concepts over the last two or three years, but I can't find much evidence of any physical products (yet).
As far as I understand, the LG display is still essentially an e-Ink Visplex film based screen, so pretty much identical to the other 6" ebooks currently available. It certainly looks like a nice product and the possibility of WiFi is good. The question has to be... when and how much?
