The display that I was asking about is the one that is used for the small laptop that is being built by the One Laptop Per Child organization, OLPC. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Hardware_s...Specifications
This low power requirement display seems like it would make a good in between option from from the normal pda type display and the high cost of the current e-ink displays.

I submitted a question to the faq at Pixel Qi http://pixelqi.com/faq but I don't think they are far enough along to start naming deals with manufacturers. Possibly by mid 08. There is also a possibility that no company is interested in producing something like this.
