Who needs video, eh? By that logic, who needs e-ink when we have paper?
Colour would be nice too.
Semi-rugged won't happen. (Just look at iPhone.)
We use these devices instead of OLED display devices such as current tablet devices due to lower power use and the clarity of a non-backlit display, not because we're desperate to never see so much as a frame of video! Oh, and to read books. Reading books is good

As for the demo shown: why quarter size video?..
