I just realized that the first post of this thread showed us what would be on the display.

Ha! I knew MAKE wouldn't let us down. More details here: http://blog.makezine.com/archive/200...er_hackin.html (but you might need a MAKE subscription, I'm not sure.)

By the way, has anyone else read the Steve Jobs article yet? Interesting, if not quite professional diagnosis of his psyche. |

As for the hackability, no go - it is not a screen, it consists of predefined segments. From Make blog: Quote:

Color me unimpressed. It isn't the full cover, just a little piece of it. About what you'd get with a cellphone.

Well, I finally got mine. I bought 3... one to play with the other 2 to save. By the time I got home (5 mins) the battery in one of them was dead. It no longer blinks.

I'm a 'touch' late in noticing this... but did anyone pick up extras and would be willing to ship one to Europe? I'd pay by Paypal.

If Nate runs out, I've got two extras as well. I wouldn't charge money, though. I'm in the market to swap. I need paperback copies of Neuromancer in as many languages as possible. Already have German, Italian and French. If you can get me Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, etc., I'd love to trade...

I notice that ebay is selling them, at a range from sensible to silly prices...
Does anyone know who made the displays - they are flexible/plastic and not glass? I thought PVI only did glass based displays. |
