How about this one :
" I'm looking for credible ways to exploit the paradigm shift enabled by electronic paper products to be a founder and/or early employee in the next Google sized success story. "
Seriously, there are lots of assumptions about things that can be re-examined and need some serious vetting before going off hat in hand to the likes of Kleiner Perkins, Caufield, Byers.
For example, is there a market for an identity card device such that one side is e-paper and the other is one or more biometric sensors so that I can scan my index finger across the reader and have my driver's license appear on the other side. Difficult to forge, useless to crooks, could hold all of the cards in my wallet perhaps. But to develop it there are three key questions:
1) What is the cost of the gear per-unit and lifetime expectency?
2) Are there any existing future-tech ID systems programs being sponsored by any federal agencies (always nice to get some tax payer dollars back)
3) What are the three key players that would have to 'buy in' to such a scheme to make it fundable?
I'd love a section on developer's kits (like the E-Ink one) and using existing products (like Jtag's disection of the Iliad) to develop E-paper applications.
We could benefit from hosting a small section on cross-compiling with step by step how to guides.
