"Within a year or two, however, you may be able to pull out a thin plastic screen from the side of your phone or digital organizer, read a magazine, a map, or a memo, then let the screen roll back into the device."
Cool!

They promised me self-driving flying cars in the mid-'90s too.

Why not just ditch the display altogether. For a map, it could just blink an orange light twice for a right turn or a green light three times for a left. The beauty of it is that you don't know where it is taking you. And neither does it. But hey, life is random!

Apparently life is monochrome too.

"Carole Barnum, chief executive of Staellium, a company based in London, plans to use one of Philips's forthcoming devices for a wireless application she is developing, a system to organize personal information on hand-helds. "You will be able to organize all the documents you download, in the same way that kids organize and manage their music on an iPod," she said. "A large screen will be perfect for this.""
iPod's just for kids eh?
I STILL think it's teh cool. Buncha hatas.

Yes, but they never actually had a pre-production flying car when they made that promise, did they? Philips has actual flexible displays ready to go into mass production. Sure, they're low rez now and monochrome, but that'll change quite quickly

eBooks? Complete and utter flop.
I wonder if this could ever replace newspapers and books. I just don't recieve the same feelings of absorption, concreteness, and isolation when reading something on a computer screen as opposed to paper print.
