Most likely it will be late 2011 to early 2012 before you see Mirasol e-readers. Companies like Amazon aren't going to waste any serious time on something like this until they can be assured of reliable mass-production numbers and unit costs. "We think we've got this figured out" coming from a Qualcomm EVP isn't the same corporate-speak as "Our production facility is operational and capable of producing X number of units per month into the supply chain."
