3GSM 2007
Polymer Vision showed off their Readius mobile media device. This is the cellular-enabled handheld with a rollable e-ink screen. The model they were showing off is the one that will be launched in Italy as the Cellular Book. When closed, it is about the size of a Nokia N73, but it opens to reveal a large, high resolution display with 16 grey shades.
In the central bulk of the Readius is its battery, which will go for about 2 weeks on a single charge if you use the Readius 2-3 hours per day. It also houses 4 GB of storage and 3 radios for data transfer - EDGE, UMTS and DVB interactive. An EDGE-only version is expected to come to North America sometime this year. There is also a touch panel which is used for navigation by pressing one of 5 button areas, as well as for scrolling by running your finger up or down the length of the sensor.
