When can China users see it?
Dear Thomas,
I am very interested in Readius. I am very sure that at least 10 million mobile users in China will be interested in it regardless the economic crisis. As I know, most of my colleagues change mobile phone every year. They will rush at Readius when it's available in China market.
I hope you can arrange some presentation in China. I can provide some help if necessary.

When can China users see it?
Dear Gucheng,
Thanks for your input. Obviously China represents a huge potential for Readius however we will focus our efforts on Europe first and then spread out to other regions in the world. As an indication I would expect a launch in China to be possible from Q3 2009 onwards.

website for Polymer Vision?
I was browsing the Readius related sites to see if there was anything new and noticed that Polymer Vision's website is gone. I also have noticed that the launch date is sometime in 2009 for the reader. Is the economy's woes taking its toll on the product's development? Was the book fair worth the time and effort or not?
Hoping for the product's rollout...

Opportunities for Readius
Hi Gary, thanks for your concerns.
Despite the troubled general economic outlook the signs for those markets that are important for Readius are still positive; eReading is growing in popularity and mobile data traffic shows strong growth as well. Readius is at the crossing of these 2 trends offering eReading and updated information while on the move.
This was also clear at the book fair in Frankfurt. There was great interest at the Readius presentation and my colleague was overwhelmed by the media attention. The reactions of the public were positive and the opportunity to push eBooks and information around books to the Readius over the air was seen as a great advantage by publishers.
More in general the drive of publishers to publish ebooks at the same time as printing them on paper is getting stronger and stronger so more and more econtent will become available to the public.
So for Readius the signs are still very positive! Thomas
