Footage of the Rollable 'Phillips Readius'

Stuart Young · 08-30-2006, 07:52 AM

First announced way back in Sept 2005, Mobilemag.com has video of the Phillips Readius device in action. For those of you new to the Readius, it's a roll-up 5" inch QVGA device which uses our beloved E Ink technology.

The mobilemag article and video are available here, the original Phillips Readius press release here.

Thanks for the video link, Stu. I first wondered what's all the fuss about the Readius until I realized that it's probably the first time a video of it was shown.
