I foretold great future for Liquavista technology elsewhere. Because from my layman's POV it's like eink, but without all the eink's downsides - slow refresh rate, no color. It has low power consumption, comparable contrast (which I likewise consider to be low in eink readers).
And I don't quite get this multi-purpose vs. single-purpose antagonism some people are pushing on MR.
Even with a multi-purpose device one can still use it for a single thing, e.g. reading ebooks, yet the potential for performing a number of tasks on it is there (which is excellent), checking mail, taking notes, web-browsing, etc. That's why I see future in e-readers running Android OS with a display technology similar to Liquavista.
I forgot to mention that I'm strongly against the netbook form-factor in e-readers. I like the reader to resemble a book and I want to be able to hold in one hand, so never a netbook as an e-reader for me.
