Today, Plastic Logic plans to preview an electronic newspaper reader with a screen around 2.5x the size of the one on the Amazon Kindle, reports The New York Times. (It will be at the Demo Fall show.) However, you will have to wait until next January's CES for an indication of the price.
The story says the device "uses a flexible, lightweight plastic, rather than glass, a technology first developed at Cambridge University in England. Plastic Logic, based in Mountain View, Calif., was spun off from that project."
Plastic Logic hails, of course, from Cambridge, England -- to be specific, the Cavendish Laboratory -- and one of its investors is Hermann Hauser, co-founder of Acorn. However, everybody knows that nothing electronic of any consequence has ever been invented outside Silicon Valley, so it helps if you look as though you're from Google country, Mountain View.....
