World’s first little cellphone with big fold-out screen to launch mid-2008
Spunning out of Philips, the Dutch company Polymer Vision has come up with a 5-inch or 13-cm display to both amaze and amuse us. The size of two business cards, the display, the ‘Readius’ is no bigger than other mobile phones and stands out as the world’s first to fold out when the user wants to read news, blogs or email. When it folds back together, the device gets a size that can easily fit into a pocket.
But, gadget fans! Hold your appetite, till it hits stores in mid-2008. It is sure to bring in competition for both Apple’s iPhone and Amazon’s ebook reader Kindle. What is more magnetic about it, is its large e-reading display, the e-reading’s super battery life and also high-end connectivity - but, all in the weight of a mobile phone!
