Pixel Qi's display is where it's at and runs circles around both the ipad and anything irex could do anytime soon. Granted either company could look to use the Pixel Qi screen but it's unlikely. I'd suspect that Amazon will do it right by Q2 2010 and choose a display that will satisfy color and be easy on the eyes by turning the back light off. They are cheaper and easier to produce than e-ink from Vizplex.

I'd also look for tablets running Android which will be open and allow people to use them as they see fit, instead of Apple doing their own DRM driving.

Qualcomm's Mirasol is also a really cool technology if it becomes widely available.
