Too bad it looks like this thing doesn't have very high priority over at E-ink. A Sony Reader that looked exactly like that would be so great. yvanleterrible 03-11-2007, 10:11 AM Make the paddle less intrusive with one on both sides and you're cooking. delphidb96 03-11-2007, 01:42 PM Been there, done that, didn't get the t-shirt. IOW, this has been 'under development' for so long that I expect to see a real, working, ready-to-buy version when I have grandchildren - this despite his claims they're hoping to have it ready for SID 2007. Sorry, but E-Ink has all the intention of creating a marketable ebook-reader that is has for creating the next greate fast food recipe, IMO.

Remember that all computer chipset manufacturers (VIA, SIS, nVidia, Intel, etc.) create a reference design of how you can use their chipsets in a motherboard. Many copy these designs exactly while other add or take thnings away from the reference design. Perhaps it will be that way with e-ink in the future.

All they do is provide screens to other manufacturers. It makes good economic sense... in a way. :shy: |
