Plus, I cannot imagine that they could decide now to switch to a new screen technology and still have it out by Spring 2010 -- especially given the amount of time it's taking them to produce the B&W eInk version.
Declaring "PL has color!" is merely the consequence of high-velocity fact-check-free blog-style reporting.  |
This is right from the Platic Logic website...

When will a color version be available?
The Plastic Logic Reader will initially be available in grayscale. We think color displays based on plastic electronics are around the corner. We are actively working on it and we expect to be first to market with a large, flexible color display. Sign up to receive information and updates on the Reader.
