Good stuff, thanks! |
I Also noted that bit about RF recharging, Im trying to find out which device is doing that.
The thickness descriptions are always incredible to me. right now b&w displays are less than half as thick as lcds because of only one glass layer. plastic will get rid of that leaving it about 1/4 as thick or less.
but he said Triton is actually only about half as thick as Pearl so that would make a Triton plastic backed display 1/8 the thickness of an lcd.
And you saw the CC. I've seen that in person. Blows me away that there is a logic circuit, display rfid chip and battery that will last for over two years in there and the card is really no thicker than a regular CC
