From the screenshots, the displays better black is very nice. Yes, the white is also a bit darker, but it doesn't seem to matter in comparison. I also believe SiPix doesn't have the black flash...I'd like to know the page turn speed, if it's even close to reasonable then...

...well, it'd seem that SiPix really *is* that much cheaper, and e-Ink corp can go hang.

From the Electricpig article:

"The Asus DR-950 will pack a 1024×768 resolution display, and on the software front will offer RSS feeds, translation and text to speech. It’ll also pack 2 or 4GB of internal memory and an SD slot, Wi-Fi and HSDPA or even WiMax, plus a USB port for sideloading, a 3.5m audio port for music.

The Asus DR-950 will support PDF, TXT, Audible, MP3, ePub, HTML, JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP file formats."

...Nice.
