A division of Philips will show off what it claims is the world's first "rollable display" cellular device at the mobile technology exhibition 3GSM next week.

Polymer Vision's Readius device, which has a roll-out grayscale screen, is being touted as a combination 3G-enabled PDA and e-book reader. Telecom Italia Mobile is the first operator scheduled to release it, with a commercial launch set for the end of the year. Polymer Vision has not confirmed any discussions with U.K. operators.
