The world’s largest mobile handset maker, Nokia, has started revising its phone line in anticipation of the end-of-year buying season, starting out with the high-margin high-end bit of its product line. The new N79 and N85 (what happened to your promise to start naming handsets, Nokia?) each offer 5 megapixel cameras, pre-loaded games, and the ability to tap into Nokia’s broad range of mobile content and service offerings.
The flexible e-paper technology we’ve read about, dreamed about, and drooled over is finally coming to market in a polished consumer device. Polymer Vision, an offshoot of Philips, announced on Tuesday that its Kindle-like mobile reading device and phone, the Readius, has entered mass production.
The Readius is effectively one part e-reader and one part mobile phone. Its slim rounded rectangular profile somewhat resembles a pager or even an old-school tape-based voice recorder, until an outer door unfurls, revealing a huge 5-inch internal monochrome screen which is actually wrapped around the device like a scroll when closed, but lies flat when open. According to Polymer, the screen’s low power consumption gives it 30 hours of viewing time on one charge.
