Polymer Vision has squeezed a display the size of two business cards
and turned it into the worldâ„¢s first phone that has a fold-away screen
that fold ups like paper when not in use. The Dutch company introduced
the 5-inch Readius as an e-phone that can fit perfectly in a pocket when
folded and when folded out, users can use it to read e-news, blogs and
email.
Readius has a large screen for e-reading purposes, superb battery life
and high-end connectivity. It is no bigger than a normal mobile phone
and weigh the same if not lighter. The fold-able phone has an electronic
Ëœpaperâ„¢ screen that allows it to bend and it displays black-and-white
text and images as tho it is printed on a piece of paper.
Besides the conventional use of making and answering calls, the device
is perfect for e-reading; simply connects it to the Internet using the
third-generation mobile phone networks with high speed data and users
will be able to access to their email accounts, news source, podcast,
audio books and blog feed that transferred from their home computer
to the device when it is updated.
Polymer vision is not disclosing how much Readius would cost but
commented that it would be sold at a comparable price to a high-end
mobile.
