Here is a quote from the Polymer Vision and Telecom Italia press release:

The innovative terminal will be presented to the Industry as a world first at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona from February12th (booth in Hall 2, D 06). The device uses the unique Polymer Vision rollable display technology which enables mobile devices to incorporate a display larger than the handset itself and offers a readability similar to printed paper.

The emphasis above is mine. Read the rest of the press release here.

This is wicked cool. I can imagine carrying one around just for reading news and blogs — in place of the “bulky” Sony eReader. Of course we’ll have to find out if it will have enough power to last a day of use without charging, and what kind of wireless broadband access it will support.
