First Mobile Device with Rollable Display

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."

    Because I'm sure people have been rolling joints for a lot longer. And the user interface is a lot more intuitive.

    My Kyocera Smartphone QCP-6035 does this, so what is new about it? Article about the Kyocera is at http://www.pencomputing.com/palm/Pen40/kyocerasmar tphone.html

    The 6035 has a built-in Palm Pilot and can do all kinds of stuff. I like it because it has a built-in modem and will connect to a serial port (i.e. COM1) and let's me use my laptop on the internet from my vehicle. The later 7135 with color display is even better yet.

    What is so new and great about the ELnk thing?
