IBM's latest futuristic product offering, is the Electronic Newspaper.

The product will have 16 dual-sided flexible pages, will be printed with erasable electronic ink, and will aim to keep the same style as its paper-based cousins.

Users will be able to download stories and graphics from the Net which are then displayed on the flexible pages.
