From the video, it sounded like some elements of the homepage requires a long-press to minimize accidents while others did not. After watching that video, it seems important for them to have the device support rotation in the other direction so the home button is at the top to minimize accidental presses.
Ok, where is it mentioned that the touch layer is UNDER the e-ink or somehow non-existant? The Engadget article vaguely hints at this but I haven't seen any official backing or other mention of that. Can you even have a capacitive screen with no top layer (perhaps using the e-ink film itself)?
