Readius ebook reader video review
Matt Miller has been a very busy boy in Barcelona this week and got a great hands-on look at the most innovative ebook reader to come along yet, the Readius. It's a nicely constructed device with that innovative foldout e-Ink screen and even has an HSDPA phone inside. Take a look at Matt's review and video and watch how fast the page turning screen refresh is on the Readius. I'll bet Matt will have one of these babies this year. :)
Very nice concept. I don't particularly care about the phone but as Windows CE, I could use eReader Pro. That would be nice.
Let's see: a bit smaller than my iPaq; MUCH larger screen than my iPaq.
Now if it is priced reasonably

I think it is a great concept as well but am wondering about the price and why they are trying to go with their own proprietary system.
No more than $250 for any ebook reader I think is the sweet spot for maximum traction.
But opening it up to eReader, MobiPocket, etc is a better way to go than yet another DRM system.
I have no interest in its phone capabilities but I would be interested to find out more about a price and what formats it would support.
And also, it was clear from the video but, would it stay open like a regular book or do you always have to hold it open?

>>>watch how fast the page turning screen refresh is on the Readius
It might be faster because it's a smaller screen than the Sony Reader or the K?
