This is great news for netbooks, but ebooks don't have much to worry about yet.

actually the screen, if its picked up in netbooks, it would be great for netbooks, but the demand will raise, and if their claims of "easialy converted factories to produce this new screen" are true, it means lower cost in the long run.
10,000 screens, 200 bucks each (this is what I have heard for the cost of the 10 inch from them)
100,000 screens, 100 bucks each
1,000,000 screens, 50 bucks each
so if the tech takes off in netbooks, the only part of the computer industry on the rise, it will be a good thing in lowering cost for the screen, and the goods behind the screen are nothing special
