A Dutch company that has squeezed a display the size of two business cards into a gadget no bigger than other mobile phones--by making a screen that folds up when not in use--says the device will be available later this year. The 5-inch display of Polymer Vision's Readius is the world's first that folds out when the user wants to read news, blogs, or e-mail and folds back together so that the device can fit into a pocket. Polymer Vision, spun out of Philips, whetted the appetite of gadget fans more than two years ago when it showed off a prototype. Now the gadget is in production and will go head-to-head with Apple's iPhone and Amazon's e-book reader Kindle when it hits stores mid-2008.http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9584_22-6227035.html
