"Newton the Rebirth" might make a fun marketing scheme? Loved the Newton when I had one in my before-time.
Maybe if Apple does develop an Newton iPADD (I like that one) would they have to use eink necessarily. I am thinking about the displays for the comapany spun off from the OLPC program. As I recall the name of the company is Pixel something. The displays are said to be color and readable in daylight, lghtweight and best of all cheap. Have those been made commercially yet? It is one of the reasons I am holding off on a reader, I want color. I would be very happy to exchange batterlife for color as long as I could get a day or two reading time from one charge. I looked at Sony Readers at Costco and was surprised how grey the displays are in real life.
To the person who talked about Apple being about color. Do not forget it was not always like that. The original Mac was grey scale not color. And stayed that way for a long time. I loved my old Mac. Of course today it would probably make more sense to see a color device that doubles as a web access device and can run something like OpenOffice or even Abiword.
