After my comment in this week's lecture about e-book reader technology not taking off, it was interesting to note that Deutsche Telekom is talking about releasing a device on which to publish news content.
The comments on engadget are mostly pretty skeptical, but there are some who think there's more in it. If the latter is right, it looks like it could be something like that scene in Minority Report (with Tom Cruise) where the passenger in the train is holding a newspaper whose content changes dynamically as he's reading it.

Hmm, I don't know.. I just don't see how a device dedicated solely to delivering personalised news would be worthwhile when you can basically get the same thing via laptop, mobile phones with internet access, PDAs, etc.. What's the point? Maybe I'm missing something.
You may be right. Convergence is the name of the game these days. The model seemed to be that you would be able to aggregate news from different sources on this. Also, it would be heaps easier to read than most laptops and PDAs etc because of the nature of the display surface.
