First Touch-Screen, Bendable E-Paper Developed

"The first touch-screen flexible e-paper has been developed by a team from Arizona State University and E-Ink (the company that makes the technology for Amazon's Kindle and Sony's Reader). Jann Kaminski and colleagues at ASU's Flexible Display Center say the main challenge is that most touch-screen technologies do not respond well to being flexed. So they used an inductive screen, which relies on a magnetized styluses to induce a field in a sensing layer at the back of the display. The first adopters for the technology are likely to be the US Army. Watch a video of the device being tested."

Read about it, and the feed back...

 

Awesome.

 

It's like having a thin, bendable PDA. Why is that necessary when a PDA fits in your pocket perfectly fine?

A cure for cancer would be more interesting.

 

Wow, that's pretty awesome, but I don't think I would use it.

Lol, somebody asked me that too because I was sending him links all the time.

 

Wow Nicce !

 

That would be brilliant to use. I think it would take some getting used to, though.

 

sweet. So in the future there might be a laptop wich you can roll up and put in your pocket? ;o

 

A PDA.

 

Sending who links all the time?

 

Interesting. But honestly, for the size, I'd say you're better off with a pen and paper. You might get... 3-4 words on that little screen.

Interesting thing though, hopefully they will become larger, and have the ability to like connect via USB to print, and such.

 

Just a friend, why?

 

He might be a RSS feed, but hes our RSS feed

anyways, Thats a interesting find, I think I read about it somewhere else, might be wrong

 

Imagine the technology in 10 or even 5 years, will be amazing.
