Plastic Logic may have abandoned the Que, but a new development around the company makes me inclined to say “¿Que?”

PaidContent reports that Plastic Logic has announced “a significant investment” by the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies for the purpose of building a factory in Russia to manufacture “a next-generation electronic reader for business that is currently under development,” The facility will supposedly be “capable of producing hundreds of thousands of units a month.”

Given that the Que’s launch was first delayed, then canceled altogether, I find myself a trifle skeptical. Is anybody really going to want to pay what such a huge e-ink device will cost? But you never know. They might have something up their sleeve after all.
