this has color, it's the same size as the kindle DX (a lil larger) and if made into a device should be the same price.
also there is talk about putting it in netbooks. which if anything, would make the price go down.

Considering that you can buy a netbook with a 10 inch screen for under $400, that $200 for just a screen seems high. I'm sure that the rest of the netbook hardware comprises more than 50% of the cost. And we're talking street price, not manufacturing cost, which is lower. We'll just have to see how things shake out when the Pixel Qi screen is actually in production.
