As the title says, there is a flexible EINK screen Android tablet with GPS solar pannel: the EARL, does not seem to be in Production just yet, but up for preorder. I am on my iPad and can't view the flash content (who still uses flash on their site's home page?!), so may be missing some important points here, but if this is not a joke, it's the best thing since sliced bread!
It's old news, but nothing wrong with bringing it up again.

This device is meant for rugged outdoor use; hence the flexible panel. Standard displays would be too fragile. This device is loaded with sensors and radios for outdoor navigation; and the solar panels are there to keep it charged out on the trail. It's also waterproof and shockproof. These features don't come cheap either. $299 pre-order and $349 retail.
