Last year they promised us that they'd be ready to ship color screens by the end of this year. Where do we stand now?

It has been awefully quiet about E Ink, and I have no idea whether it's going to take another 1 year, 2, 5, or 10 years for them to come out with a color screen.

Any guesses?

You know, these schedules are always way too optimistic, sometimes bordering on vapourware or naive wishful thinking.

Or baybe its quiet before a storm :D
more quiet = more work actualy done ? hope so :)

I believe that color eink being a recent invention compared to a recent evolution, has quite a number of bugs to iron out. As I've said before, with any such device, the developpers always try to reinvent the wheel by designing a new computer instead of taking an existing one and focusing on the display interfacing.

Patience, the result will be gratifying! Drool!
