Telecom Italia and Polymer Vision have joined forces to create a mobile device that features a roll-up e-paper-like display. It's a grayscale and can't be read in the dark, but the 5-inch screen represents a significant step forward in terms of incorporating this technology on mobile devices.

It's not clear if this is actually e-paper or not, but the fact that it's flexible and can't display color leads one to believe it is. Even if it isn't, it will be interesting to see how this type of mobile design functions and whether or not it catches on. Unfortunately, it'll only be available in Italy, but this sort of thing is sure to make its way over to the States sooner rather than later if it really does work well.
