Flexible ?Roll Me? Computer Not for Swatting Flies

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.

The cylindrical shape of the Roll Me looks like it?d be great for stuffing it in bags, backpacks or briefcases, rather than needing to be padded and protected in rectangular sleeves like many of today?s favorite portables.

But the flexible screen is probably best suited for reading on flat surfaces, since you?d need to hold the top edge of the display upright like you?re reading from a scroll. Not exactly the way I look to look when I?m reading on a mobile device.
