We were pretty jazzed to hear about Fujitsu's sustained efforts to develop e-paper in vivid colors, but it seems we are just not there yet. During the Fujitsu Forum 2006, the group presented a 11-inch film substrate-based e-paper with 4,096 colors. It almost goes unsaid that it's also ultra-thin (0.75mm) and uses ultra-little power (67 mW). Unfortunately, and here is the deal-killer, the current prototype requires up to six seconds to redraw a full screen, an eternity if you have nothing else to occupy your time with.
