A new e-reader -- gone mobile and flexible

Okay, here is a device I want. The Readius. Not only does it bring in the new highly flexible organic display technology -- but does so in a mobile phone! It is described as a merge of the Kindle or Sony reader and a mobile phone.

You can see a video presentation of the technology via YouTube at the following location:
