This is from Johannes Haupt in Germany. He sent me the following email:

I’ve stumbled upon a quite unique multifunctional dual screen device at current Cebit fair: 1Cross B’ook combines E-Ink eBook Reader, GSM-Phone, Web Browser, E-Mail Client and Webcam in one body. Article + HD-Video ->

OEM-Price is 290 USD, company is currently looking for distributors worldwide (good luck…). Imo it’s a bit to much and some way of cheap-looking due to the soft touch keyboard – full-lcd display with virtual keyboard (like astri myid) makes more sense. Plus, you look quite stupid with that thing at your ear although you can flip the E-Ink Display to the back…anyway: With e.g. pixel qi panel these kind of all-in-one devices will become an serious option for sure.
