Mary Lou Jepson made some comment about the OLPC having muted colors by design. Does that same design consideration (is it cost? battery life?) come into play here???

Well, Astak and I are urgently trying to get more info on Pixel Qi technology for our 9.7 eBook Readers. They have an office in San Bruno, California. I drove up there this morning (40 miles each way) and the office there is an "executive one-room suite" with one lady who was anything but happy to see me. She did not give me her business card, had no brochures or handouts, AND would not show the device. She would not even invite me to the office but insisted we talk in front of the elevator.

This was a strange start; but we are in the process of contacting their Taiwan office. So far... we have seen no help or explanation of their technology... but hope things will improve.
