But back on Pixel Qi's relationship...
I think Apple got a lot right, and the screen is probably fine enough. I do think though, that it would be a better document-viewing device than almost anything else if they used Pixel Qi, as it is supposedly capable of ~200ppi in reflective mode, as well as having noticeably superior battery life, in a pretty good form factor.
Rather than hoping that Apple adopts Pixel Qi though (which is very unlikely), I'd rather hope that some competitor that acknowledges and takes cues from what Apple got right steps up and uses something like a Tegra 2 and Pixel Qi combo. Notion Ink's got a prototype going, but I'm not 100% convinced, especially on the software end.
The competitors might not go that route either though if the iBook side of Apple isn't played up a bit.
