I'm seeing the acceptance of the iPad and I think the future does NOT belong to e-ink, even if it goes color. The average person will buy a tablet that does video and has 10 hour battery life ahead of one that has a slightly better display for reading and battery life of weeks. Unless e-ink refresh rates ever approach LCD's, that means the market for e-ink displays is peaking about... now.
We'll see. I could easily be wrong but I expect a major product shift and, yes, it is Apple's fault.
