This is absolutely amazing. It seems that they provide the final technical breakthrough that is needed to make reading a digital experience. Though still another year away from production. Obviously, they want to steer up the hype, now that Amazon and Sony try to rapidly gain market share now that the e-book market is ready for primetime.

iRex Technologies sent out their notifications that finally their iLiad e-reader is on sale. Their online shop is at http://www.irexshop.com.

I believe that the e-paper technology will give this kind of gadgets (e-reader, PDA) a complete new breath. Worth to watch. The company belongs to Philips.
