Indeed it is. E Ink uses little white/black particles suspended in fluid filled capsules. Bridgestone's Aerobee technology also uses little white/black particles, but in air, not a fluid. This makes the response time a lot quicker - about 0.2 seconds to go from white to black or black to white for a single pixel. (Although full screen refresh is longer)
The disadvantages of Aerobee at the moment seem to be resolution and grey levels. The A5 model is only 320x480 pixels, or 75dpi. Compare with 166 dpi for 6" E Ink screens and 200dpi for 5" E Ink screens.
This probably explains why they're going for the larger display market at the moment. Viewed from further away, the low resolution isn't a problem.
