More information about the new Readius e-book mobile phone is emerging, and it looks like this could be a really serious competitor for the Kindle and beyond. The video shows the great roll-up screen in action, and the interface looks to be great as well. And you can fit it in your pocket? Awesome.
Readius is looking more and more like the Kindle killer. A lucky few get to paw this HSDPA and Bluetooth-enabled e-Book reader at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Unlike Kindle, you can put the Readius in your pocket. It uses a flexible display that you roll out when you want to read and roll back in when you are finished. It supports TXT, HTML and PDF.

The readius roll out screen looks neat, but for plain text (like novels) a regular cell pone screen is just fine.
