We recently reported that the Readius may receive a second chance since Polymer Vision went bankrupt, and it looks like it will come to pass.

Wistron is apparently planning to release a flexible e-paper display that is similar to the Readius sometime in 2010. We don’t know the exact date, and we also don’t know whether this e-paper device will feature the Bluetooth, tri-band GSM/EDGE, dual-band HSDPA, microSD expansion and SMS capabilties of the original plan for the Readius. We shall see.

It has been a while since we covered the Readius from Polymer Vision. The Readius was supposed to be a terrific portable e-reader/mobile phone with a retracting flexible screen, but sadly, Polymer Vision went bankrupt.

But it is the end? It probably is only the beginning as Wistron made a bid for the company over the summer, and approved of an 18 million investment. Also, Polymer Vision is acting as a spin-off of Acer as of September. Perhaps the Polymer Vision will see mass-marketing one day.
