BBC experiments with speed reading technologies: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/internet/entries/13e78bfb-ba62-4e93-a30f-33c69963267a
This article stresses that the technology is in its experimental phase. I tried reading the words in the videos and found that I could read and understand the first two messages although the few words that I was unfamiliar with sped by and I didn't get the names of the people. I also would have more trouble remembering the message in the future, I think. The last message was too fast for me to even say I read it. It may be that, as the article points out, we may read in a different way as we read more on cell phones and other smaller devices.
