BTW, do you remember the discussion of Eink vs LCD screens about a month back? One of the points I was trying to make was about the supposed benefit of lower energy use of Eink. I tried to say that if you attach the Eink screen to a power hungry CPU, you won't see a difference in battery life between one screen type and the other. I'm rather pleased that Irex proved my point for me.
