In a press release a couple of months ago (http://www.e-ink.com/press/releases/pr101.html), E Ink said:

"The E Ink's color video prototype mentioned above is a 6-inch diagonal display with 300x400 resolution and RGBW sub-pixels and is capable of switching at up to 30 frames per second. It is expected that the video switching capability may require several years to reach the market."

Is that reasonable, or are they being optimistic? (Or does that depend on how you define "several"?)

And whatever the answer is, would be be the same for monochrome video? In other words, once the frame rate issue is resolved, is it likely to hit monochrome and color at the same time, or will monochrome video be on the market before color video?
