Digital Paper

Philips is set to start manufacturing digital paper that could be rolled up, in some cases, to a size smaller than a pen when not in use. Ars Technica has more on this.

This is something I've been waiting for for years now. My dream device should be here in 5-15 years. It will be a handheld device with the computing power of a modern desktop and the ability to work as a cell phone. It will have a full color, paper-thin display that can retract into the body of the device, high speed wireless Internet access, decent sound, and it'll be relatively cheap (under $500).
