However, E-Ink would likely know who is working on what.
Will reply on this!

MUCH higher resolution would be wonderful. Especially if it used a resolution-independent UI. I'd really like to have good typography (which depends on the combination of res & grayscale & OS & display software) without getting the jaggies in my fonts (which depends mostly on res & grayscale).
I'm one of those folks who is bothered by the difference between a
good 600DPI laser printer and a
good 1200DPI laser printer (emphasis on "good," as there may be no difference between units that aren't good). The ~180DPI res we have on current generation eInk readers is just barely sort-of kind-of acceptable. And I care about this issue
far more than about color, or refresh-speed (as long as it's not much slower than current). In fact, if I could improve only one thing about current eInk displays (while changing nothing else, including price), I'd pick much-higher-resolution in a heartbeat.
