*** maybe not the place to post, but wanted my fellow Kindlers to see this is they haven't already... I did a search for this, and so far as I can tell, noone else has mentioned them on here yet... apologies if you have ***
PIXEL QI
- a new LCD screen (currently available in only a 10.1" for netbooks), that can become a non-reflective, non-backlit eInk screen that can still show video (well, not eInk, but the closet that an LCD can)... only $250 apparently.
Interesting stuff... I foresee an iPad competitor coming in the near future with the new displays (if Apple doesn't do the smart thing and jump onboard before someone else does).
Anyway, here's a few screenshots and links for those interested in seeing what its all about :-)
