This has got to be the most amazing e-reader, yet:
The Skiff Reader is silicon with film-transistors on a flexible steel substrate.
Whoa.
The full touch screen display spans 11.5-inches and can bend and warp on a whim, making it not only rugged, but a head turner:
The Skiff uses a metal foil design that merges with the thin film transistors to fit into a low-profile shape, in this case just a quarter-inch in thickness.
The Skiff reader is coming later this year, available at Sprint retail outlets and using the Sprint 3G network. While it’ll be some time until Skiff hits the streets, we can already hear the nervous hustle of the e-reader market trying its hardest to catch up.
I think we’re seeing the direction e-readers are heading, thus, creating the divide needed to contrast and set them apart from tablet technology.
I like what I’m seeing.

This looks AWESOME! I can’t wait to get my hands on one!
I guess it died. Too, bad.
Was there new news about this? Last I heard was from lat June when TechCrunch pronounced is dead… http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/15/the-skiff-ereader-is-dead/
So sad.
It looks like the article that was linked to was from Jan. 2010
I guess the lesson here is that not everything on the interwebz is true
The problem is, because of this post a whole bunch of people think it is true because it’s been tweeted 7 times so far and shared on Facebook twice.
Think of the lives you’ve saved!
Thanks for the heads-up. You’re awesome.
Such a great product will never reach the stores? What a crime!
I know, right!?!
