Not only in terms of readability, sunlight readability, also in terms of battery life, an ARM Powered product like the iPad could most surely achieve upwards 50 hours battery life with the Pixel Qi 3Qi screen in reflective mode since the LCD backlight is surely the single most power consuming component of the whole iPad. |
Your opinion.
I've yet to actually be able to hold a PQi device in my hand. I *HAVE* held iPhones and iPod Touches and I *HAVE* been able to see LED and AMOLED screens in action. Same with e-ink. They are out there. And come March we should be able to buy and use the iPad.
That is not to say that the PQi tech won't be better, just that I'm not really ready to commit to a 'product' which can't state it *is* available or will be available within the next two months.
