I just read an interesting article about new markets. Often enough when a new market based on a new technology is developing companies often tend to be quite open to each us, sharing new ideas, insights reporting about errors. Since its for the whole market a matter of survival. At least it was often observed an open attitue at the beginnings of markets that survived. Only later when tech gets developed and pretty much an every day thing companies tend to get secretive to hide the latest bit of microscobic invention they still might do, otherwise its pretty the same everybody is still doing. It was so the way in the early home computer market, it was that way in the early LCD tech market.

I don't know how cooperative companies in the eInk market are... would have to be one of them to know.
