Besides, most of us still don't know how it plays out in real-world viewability. Closest I've seen other than the Sriram Peruvemba video has been the video I'm embedding in this post.
In other news...I didn't realize the Kindle was so thick that it needed a slimming job. I'd love to see a fast Kindle (and consequently a faster version of better reading devices), but I have my doubts that there will be a big performance boost.
Keeping fingers crossed.

that video above was taken on thursday in Seattle. I was pretty close by- i think just around the other side actually as i remember them setting up .
I spent some time talking to the gentleman i have circled here.
he's one of the "ink" scientists responsible for creating the e-ink film. he actually just finished creating the samples of color 20-1 and b&w 23:1 the Thursday before. they are on the wall behind the speaker.
The next gen film in that video is the 15-1 film. It's labeled as as such and its what they were telling everyone. it could be that its best case and you may only see 12 in day to day but the whites were significantly brighter than on my pocketbook 360 and the 23:1 was just ridiculously better.
the material isnt significantly thinner so the dimensional change for the kindle would be coming from better hardware design/packaging of the electronics
