I guess we won't see the Ectaco becoming a full fledged desk companion...
Are there any feats of this thread included in the jetbook color?

I actually really like the idea of a graphic calculator in a reader!
The hardware is more than capable, the software could cost as low as $5 or $10, and would be a major improvement over a $100 Texas Instrument calculator.
The fact that an ebook reader could become all in one is very interesting (not only a book reader, but also a browser, a sketchpad, an agenda, and a graphic calculator; not even mentioning a simple gaming console, and perhaps even a TTS reader)!
One that for once will be able to display PDF documents full size without having the text disappear in the pixels!
I just hope for a long battery life though!
One more thing, what about color intensity of black and white compared to current e-ink screens? Are the darks as dark, and the lights as light?
What about resolution?
What is the total amount of pixels, if every pixel would be black instead of colored?
Meaning, when they would calculate the resolution in total amount of pixels, divide by the amount of colors, how much would the actual resolution be (seeing that for instance a computer monitor of 1280x800 pixels in reality has 3840 x 800 pixels, because each horizontal pixel is divided into 3 sub divisions (red, green, and blue).
