Being given the latest steps forward in the miniaturization field, I don't think we're that far from the day when you'll take your computer, fold it nicely, and then throw it in your chest pocket. Sounds like taken from Star Trek? Don't worry, that day may be closer than you think, and as a proof, let me tell you a few words about Polymervision's electronic paper reader called "Readius", a device that can be easily folded (well, not as easy as I would like, anyway) after use!

As you can see above, this device is nothing more than an electronic notebook that uses flexible display technology, which allows you to fold the display and then store it in a safe location, saving some space when compared to common PDAs.

At these time, all that I can tell you about Readius is that this interesting device comes with a 5-inch 4:3 ratio B/W display having a resolution of 320X140, weighs 150g, and has 100X55.6X21mm in size. Its features include wireless Internet access, USB and built-in speakers, but no information about pricing or availability can be found at this time.
