Slow Birth of Flexible Screens

Setback for Readius
Polymer Vision recently said its much heralded Readius e-reader has been delayed again, this time until the second half of 2008. Moreover, the first Readius incarnation, originally crafted with a 5-inch roll-out E Ink display, will have a foldout display, instead. The reason, according to the company, is user discomfort with roll-out reliability, although the displays readily withstand 15,000 withdraw/insertion cycles.
