It's just a matter of time before a decent color e-ink screen becomes available, with reasonable battery life. How much time is anyone's guess. And I would personally be all over that, if the technology for a front lit screen was even. And that will be key, because if you have a problem with uneven lighting in black and white (I do), color will make it appear much worse.
As for the "irony" in this thread, we'll have to agree to disagree on that one, as it seems to have struck a nerve..
The technology will continue to improve to the point where the human eye is outclassed. It's not there yet, but it will be.
