now here are _my_ estimates:
> * By 2008, more than 5 companies will sell e-readers (all monochrome, 6-inch);
> * In 2009, we'll see e-readers with 8-inch and 10-inch screens, at $400 and up.
> * By 2010, we'll see e-readers with 11-inch and 12-inch screens, at $400 and up.
> * By end-2010, and more in 2011, around half a dozen manufacturers
> are likely to introduce products with flexible displays, at $600 and up.
> * By mid-2012, E Ink will strike with "really good" color capabilities, at $500 and up.
