Polymer Vision’s Readius was promised for fall of 2008, but months later there’s no sign of the innovative folding e-paper device.  According to CEO Karl McGoldrick, that’s because the companyneeds more money; he’s currently in talks with investors to refinance both the first Readius device and the in-development Readius 2.  According to McGoldrick, the next-gen Readius will include an ebook reader and cellphone.  That could be used as a cellphone with a hands-free kit, either wired or Bluetooth, as well as used to access internet pages. [via slashgear]
