Now this could be a contender for a multifunction tablet. I don't know what the battery life will be like when you're running it at 30 FPS, though. I'm also still eagerly awaiting the first PixelQi products. They said September and it's October already!
Qualcomm's Mirasol display looked really cool.

Somebody please give Alisa 3 karma points to give her an even 5,000.
