I guess Pixel Qi type screen would first appear on some highend notebook.
The technology is still at its infancy, it would be atleast 2 years before it took off.
In the mean time, we face choice of ipad type LED reader with net surf functions, colour e-ink screen readers and mono grayscale readers.
Colour eink screen readers would struggle against Ipad on pricing and uptake, grayscale readers would be mainstream.
I expect 10 inch plus grayscale e-readers selling at US 100 or more below ipad's lowest price to show up second half of the year.
It will be a good year for readers.
