On being unbreakable...

Have you seen the (oft-repeated) stories about Que being "unbreakable?" The UK's Telegraph prints it both in the headline and in a quote from Henning Sirringhaus, a founder of the company.

Henning Sirringhaus, one of the Cambridge dons who founded the company, which was spun out of the university's Cavendish Laboratory in 2000, said the 10in screen on the Que reader is "unbreakable". "It's light, you can treat it like paper, you can stuff it in your briefcase," he added.

Too bad he didn't make his way over to the mobile phone area at CES while making his claims about unbreakable things. Turns out an unbreakable phone took less whacks than a Tootsie Roll Pop takes licks.

UPDATE: I forgot to embed the YouTube video that makes this story make sense!
