I think 2010 might bring color devices.
technically the resolution of a color e-ink device needs to be 3x1 times higher than b&w, and through the use of dirthering one is capable by overlaying an e-ink screen with a RGB foil, to get resolutions of 200x800 or 267x600 pix (160kPix) on an 800x600 (480kpix) screen.

Companies will need to increase the resolution of the screen by a factor of 3x1 to get color.
That's what I'm expecting to see in Q4 2009.


3rd generation E-ink devices around Q2 09 / Q3 09:
9" screens with 1024x768 and up

Around Q4 09 / Q1 010:
6" 1024x768 pix devices

Q3/Q4 2010 (2 years from now):
6" 800x400 color devices.


It will depend on wether they decide to have standard LCD / CRT RGB setting or if they will choose diagonal striping for RGB like used in the OLPC XO-1.

I personally am not fond of the screen. it looks rather.. cheap to me, folded like that.
and at the moment supporting a res. of only 320x240 is not really my device.

I've not even looked on the price of this device.
