According to this Dutch (English Google translation) article Polymer Vision renewed the contracts with about 80% of its employees last week, and is being sold to an Asian company.
It also says Polymer Vision will now focus on ebook readers instead of cellphones. Update: Polymer Vision was bought by Taiwanese OEM manufacturer Wistron. Translated link related post: Polymer Vision is declared Bankruptcy Last edited by Who are you?; 09-11-2009 at 12:32 PM. |

Woohoo!
To be honest I was hoping that they would ditch the cell phone aspect anyways. Chances are Verizon would have never carried it. |

My favorite optimist Zelda asks "i wonder what they will be bringing us next ? and when ?"
My least favorite Donn (again) asks "when will they bring us anything, ever?" Tune into your favorite channel. |

just cool if they really are back and can deliver a reading device in the same size and all but no cell phone. The cell phone was the reason I would never consider buying a Readius. Make it a 5"-8" display it gives everyone a run for their money.
BTW, their design makes even a 10" or larger reader much more portable...hmmmmm? |

Their flexible screen is promising but the Readius was a bad shot.
I've had the thing in my hands over a year ago but its QVGA (320x200) resolution display made it just good enough to browse the address book. This way, the eink display didn't add any value at all. |

Hopefully given the extra dev time, that the final product isnt 320x200 resolution
