Polymer Vision’s READIUS finally to start selling this year

Polymer Vision, spun out of Philips, has been showing off its READIUS device for over two years now, but nothing has emerged beyond the prototype form. Now that’s a about to change, as Polymer will finally launch its flagship device this year. However, it won’t be the pure ebook reader as we previously thought. The foldable 5-inch screen equipped device will also boast a 3G radio on board, and will allow users to make phone calls with it.

And while we’ve no idea how much it will cost and what exactly “price comparable to a high-end mobile phone” means, we still look forward to see it (again) at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Hopefully, we’ll have more information by then. Stay tuned… One more photo after the jump.
