Tablets are getting thinner and thinner, and the end result is bound to be tablets that are paper thin. Well, we’re almost there, it’s a just a question of exactly how handy that’ll really be. More »

Intel, Plastic Logic and Queen’s U build the PaperTab: a flexible e-paper tablet (video)
Posted in: Today's Chili 
Plastic Logic may have bowed out of building its own e-readers, but that’s not stopping the company from making its presence felt at CES. It’s teaming up with Intel and Queen’s University on the PaperTab, a 10.7-inch tablet concept built around a flexible, e-paper touchscreen. The prototype runs a Sandy Bridge-era Core i5 processor that lets it stand on its own, but it’s ultimately designed to work as part of a team: position awareness lets multiple PaperTabs join together to share a work area, and tapping one tablet with content can send it to a waiting document in another. The bendy nature isn’t just for durability and a paper-like feel, either, as readers can flip through pages just by bending the relevant side. A fuller reveal is planned for January 8th, but you can get an initial sense of how the plastic slate works through the video after the break.
