Besides the price of the think going up 50% it just isn't practical. eInk screens are just to slow for the interactive type us a PDA gets. Also, an eInk screen is monchrome. So many of the applications would have to be rewritten to ensure that they worked with the monochrome screen.

Actyally, I think the Nokia N810 has a transreflexive screen... I'm not sure if you can turn the back light off. However, I also think the screen is only around 4inch since.
