I sure hope that a high-res display is made popular (read cheap). I used to have a Sony Clie (N620?) with a side-lit transflective display and I'd love to see something like that if the contrast could be made good enough.
Unfortunately, for many displays, the crystal layer is high enough above the reflective layer that you can see a shadow of it, and I think this is because they need the space for backlighting. I'd give up the light in trade for contrast...
