Yes, that was what I was meaning. Thanks for the pics!
I am not sure, but I think there is a slighlty coloured edge on the letters of the JetBook. This could suggest that in BW mode all subpixels are being used as if the filter wasn't there and in normal viewing you won't notice the edges.
Furthermore the microscope shots on the italian forum reveal a trick used: every second line of filtered pixels is shifted one subpixel to the side, so you can achieve a black pixel of
any four blackend subpixels grouped in a square. There is some noncoloured space between the filters too which helps getting things higher contrast in BW, but gives lower colour saturation.
So all that being said, I think the jetBook can indeed retain the 1600x1200 resolution in BW mode and even something better than 800x600 in colour mode, with smart filter layout and perhaps a little "cheating".
The downside is the visibly lower overal contrast of the whole screen.
Will need good lightning for comfortable reading.
