TC writes "Telecom Italia and Polymer Vision today [February 5, 2007] announced an agreement which will see the leading operator of the Italian mobile industry and the pioneers of the rollable display industry join to develop and launch the world's first rollable display enabled mobile device to market in 2007. After seven years of gestation it seems that E Ink is coming of age."

    Wow, that blurb was... well...

    It's just like the twenty or so folks who have "put in their name to start an exploratory committee to determine the chances of success in an election bid to become the next President of the United States..."

    It's all just hot air and vapor.

    I thought one of the big advantages of E-Ink is that it doesn't have to be refreshed?

    Right, we have to wait for flexible OLED to get enough longetivity to be useful for a frequent-use display before we can have that. OLED also uses very little power and flexible displays have been demonstrated, although I don't think any of them have been this flexible yet.

    How about, next time I'd like to see one that I can buy. Leave the complicated extra advances for a couple more generations after that.
