Well maybe he wants color eInk or equivalent to do a color device. I doubt they want to get into the full-fledged computer manufacturing market. I think PixelQi stuff will make great netbooks and tablets. I hope they open up the Kindle store for software clients at that point like they have for the iPhone. There is still some advantage to eInk. It gets days of battery life on a very small battery and doesn't need any particular cooling effort. It's superior for a reader. However, a lightweight tablet that got a day or two on a charge, ran a standard OS and your chosen applications could get a lot of people reading ebooks that wouldn't want a reader. I'd get one of these instead of a DX but I'd be glad I had a 6" eInk reader for novels. It would be heavier and warmer most likely, and wouldn't last as long on a charge but for business use I'd prefer the ability to use regular office applications. Like Dmaul said, the market for eInk may dry up anyway since people already seem to have trouble understanding what's great about it and why it can be worth the extra money.
