Move aside slate tablets and sleek MacBook Air style ultraportables. The Roll Me could be the future of mobile computing.Er, maybe.Roll Me is comprised of a flexible, bendable e-paper-based display that can wrap around an oblong keyboard unit. The keyboard features a hollow center that acts as cooling system when the device is in use, and stores its flexible solar panel charger when not in use. Similarly to the display, the charger rolls up when it’s not juicing up the conceptual computer.
If this actually takes off, it has the potential to change portable computers forever. It's flexible enough that you can create all the peripherals you need to support it. It's ergonomic, brilliantly designed and could lead the way to a new family of devices. It's worth looking into, for sure.
I hope to have a follow-up or two on this.
