I'm still not really sure what's the point of flexible eInk, especially since the displays aren't even big enough yet to be bulky when not folded.
Frankly, I've never been fascinated by the "rollup" concenpt in and of itself (it seems a little dorky, and maybe when I think of rollup I think of real paper and the annoying permanently rolled up mess you get afterward). Also, I'm wondering what the bend radius is going to be on these first gen devices.
Still, the foldable prototype I've seen on here is pretty cool. Then again, you do sacrafice sturdiness and you're probably forced to hold it a certain way (and a fully rollup screen would require two hands to constantly keep it taught... banish the thought!).
