Anyone seen any flexible eink readers advertised yet?

Just wondering if anyone has seen any information about flexible eink readers since Readius went belly up.

I know they were taken over, and that they are suppose to have some product in the future, but I havent seen any thing in over a year.

I was very interested in the readius at the time, for the flexible screen and portable size. Just not really interested in the phone portion that they were planing on.

AFAIK the technology isn't anywhere near ready yet. I suspect this is something that won't be out for several years; color epaper has a higher priority.

Using silk to make flexible screens looks interesting.

PolymerVision is actively working on "Readius 2". they also have other project irons in the fire- including recently building the very first 8 bit organic , flexible processor for this project
