I don't expect a $500 device to perform with greater accuracy.

Right, I obviously dont have as much experience as you, but it was just something that struck me later on... & I dare say that most people who think of the 'couldnt that side be used as a keyboard?' are like me...

I'm not saying that this is what I expect from the pocket edge, just that the technology does exist.

I see where you are coming from, but arent all those features you mentioned for LCD screens?
I guess e-ink being a completely different technology needs to evolve quite a bit to get there...& seeing as they have been in the market for quite a while now & their current screen refresh rates are still what they are, I would imagine their first priority would be to work on that ...
Also with the influx of alternate screens like Pixel qi, Mirasol, Liquavista etc who knows what the future of e-ink really is like...
