Tired of small cellphone displays? Try the rolling screen phone

If you’re not that fond of the two-finger-stretching-everything function of the iPhone, you may be more interested by this alternative: Instead of zooming, you roll the screen display of the handheld to expand its size. And there’s already a testing candidate, the Readius, that will be showcased at the upcoming 3GSM exhibition in Barcelona.
The “maki sushi” cellphone comes with a black and white flexible screen display wrapping the processing unit. Its readability would be similar to printed paper claimed Polymer Vision, which took 16 years to develop the device, and should be available later this year, a Telegraph blog reports (via smart mobs).
Us: Getting a large screen display would indeed fit the usual demand of Internet cellphone users. Browsing web pages becomes a lot easier. Other applications are eligible for the device, instant messengers for example. Video conferencing is not for tomorrow, as it’s unclear how the rolling screen could handle pictures.
