Fold My Blower – The Readius

Those clever Dutch people at Polymer Vision are proud to present their mobile phone project named ‘Readius’.

What’s special is the display – it can be folded away when not in use!!

This means that you can have a nice large screen AND pocket your blower without unsightly bulges.

When unfurrled the display measures 5-inches, (13cm) which is pretty fab for a phone. It’s said to have the same feel as electronic paper, pretty much like the Kindle does – so this points at the possibility of  being able to read e-books as well as content from the interweb.

Users will be able to set up their email accounts, news sources, podcasts, audio books and blog feeds at home on their computer, and the data is then pushed to the device whenever it is updated.

No news on release or price yet – but I reckon that this is pretty exciting stuff!
