I'm working on full use of e-ink wacom to controll android (and yes, it's possible), but there's still some problems (difference in timing and resolution+some strange artefacts that remind me a "ghosting clicks" problem which were present in EE firmware untill second update were released). So it will take time to fix.
What's much more important, is that it's possible to run and use android on e-ink side even if LCD screen will be shutdown. So we can get MUCH longer battery life.
As for e-ink update, I use several tricks wich on one hand lower the need for screen refreshing (that mean low CPU load and long battery life), and on the other hand it's fast enough to control android application.

Thanks.
But as for SDK it will not help at all with this project. I write low level C code wich works almost directly with hardware, so it's like writing drivers or OS daemons. Source code probably could speed up things, but seems it's a little late, 'cos I find out almost everything I were needed.
