I wouldn't call this a huge leap forward as the OP implied, but it's a nice evolutionary step. However, don't expect to see anything soon! The development kits are on pre-order. This means that no one can even begin to design a product at this point. I'd say expect products next spring. Maaaybe right before christmas if a company with eInk experience has a really bad itch to refresh its product line and the new displays can use old controllers (but it doesn't seem like it).
I also really wish they'd have upped the dpi's in this generation. For the stuff I read, it counts much more.
And about screen refresh... that is a good improvement, but right now Sony isn't even reaching the current technology's potential. The damn thing renders each page after you press the button rather than keeping a ready copy beforehand.
