Read an article in EETimes today that Seiko Epson has a new controller for e-ink that allows a fast enough refresh rate to get things like pull-down menus and maybe even stylus use on an e-ink screen. The controller chips are supposed to be rolling out next month, so maybe 6 months or a year down the line we'll see them in use.
