12:30 PM -- Remember this? A decade ago, IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM) was talking about a readable display that was so pliable you'd be able to fold it like paper. In fact, it was supposed to replace paper. That hasn't happened yet.

Some of this technology, no doubt, has been used in eBook readers. I wonder, however, whatever happened to the original concept?

About the Author

Dan Jones

Mobile Editor

Dan is to hats what Will.I.Am is to ridiculous eyewear. Fedora, trilby, tam-o-shanter -- all have graced the Jones pate during his career as the go-to purveyor of mobile essentials.

But hey, Dan is so much more than 4G maps and state-of-the-art headgear. Before joining the Light Reading team in 2002 he was an award-winning cult hit on Broadway (with four 'Toni' awards, two 'Emma' gongs and a 'Brian' to his name) with his one-man show, "Dan Sings the Show Tunes."

His perfectly crafted blogs, falling under the "Jonestown" banner, have been compared to the works of Chekhov. But only by Dan.

He lives in Brooklyn with cats.
