Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fits-in-yer-pocket dept.

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."

  1. Too bad. by Aladrin · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is a really neat device. It's too bad the company is so stupid.

    It's completely locked down by DRM. The ONLY books it'll read have to be bought from them.

    It's only marketed in Italy. Holy cow... That's awful short-sighted.

    The webpage there is also riddled with stupid comments like 'display larger than the handset itself' ... Paradox? No, just stupidity. They mean larger than the handheld when in storage form.
