Printoo, a platform for Printed Electronics

We wanted to make new great printed electronics technologies accessible to anyone, so we created Printoo - a thin, flexible and modular set of boards that use Arduino software and come with novel technologies such as printed batteries, electrochromic displays, printed polymer solar cells, films with LED die chips and organic photodetector.

It seems like a pretty cool idea. You could have used a better chip than the 328p though. How exactly do those solar cells work?

Reminds me of http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/index.php?title=Seeeduino_Film

How durable are those in real life? From what I heard Seeeduino Film started falling apart really easy, from just very careful prototyping. Those flex pcbs are meant to be fixed to something that supports them.

I don't like how they claim the printed boards are lighter than air. Yes, the balloon with enough helium is, but the boards certainly aren't.

It will be cool only if they offered custom solutions, but that will be asking too much I guess.
