Some news from PCpro (http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/126102/laptop-portfolio-concept-sports-eink-screen.html#)

Intel has demonstrated to PC Pro at IDF an early prototype laptop 'portfolio', a briefcase-style sleeve that fits around a laptop and features an e-ink screen and controls on the outside.

It's apparently code named "Lorado (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14014)."

This quote is worth taking note of, perhaps they're a bit farther along than we supposed:Elsewhere in the Tech Showcase hall at IDF PC Pro also saw the first working protoype e-ink screen running colour video. Playing Pixar's 'Cars', it looked a little like the picture from an old analog TV - fuzzy and occasionally breaking up into a snow effect, but just about watchable.
