Mobile phone with pull-out e-paper display to launch
Like Amazon's Kindle, the Readius has a so-called electronic paper screen, which displays black-and-white text and images that look almost like they have been printed on paper.
The device -- which will also just make phone calls -- connects to the Internet using the third-generation mobile phone networks with high data speeds.
The company said it was talking to retailers as well as mobile operators to sell the device. Like Apple's iPhone, the gadget offers the chance for operators to boost data usage, which is more profitable than voice revenues.
Users will be able to set up their email accounts, news sources, podcasts, audio books and blog feeds at home on their computer, and the data is then pushed to the device whenever it is updated.
McGoldrick said the company opted to use this approach -- which rules out quickly browsing the Web on the go -- because it was simpler in a mobile environment.
"I see these devices with 50 buttons on them. We have eight," he said, adding that the company plans to add a keypad to future models.
