Roll-away computer
In 2000, Toshiba released its vision of what computers could be like in 2005. One idea was a roll-away computer.
A roll-away computer is a computer with a flexible polymerbased display technology, measuring just 1 cm thick and weighing a mere 200 g.
The first one is the Toshiba DynaSheet that will feature wireless Gigabit Ethernet for LAN environments as well as 4 Mbit/s Bluetooth-V and UMTS-3 connectivity for mobile roaming in most of the countries of the world.
Apparently the DynaSheet is named in homage to the Dynabook, an influential 1970s vision of the future of computers.
Flexible displays also seem close to entering the market (see Electronic paper).
However, the complete roll-away computer still does not exist.
