Either the Apple Tablet will be using eInk for video, because the Apple Tablet will finally come out in 2020, and by then the refresh rates might actually support that. Doing video with 1fps, does not make for a satisfying experience.

Or the Apple Tablet will come out sooner and use an LCD display.
