Android on e-ink screen (video)

It may support video refresh at those rates in a window. You already have some animation support. You don't need 50 fps for web pages. My kindle does OK web browsing. Also, all of the video demos I have seen on eink are in small window on the page.

There's different methods of displaying images on e-ink. As far as I understand, before displaying an image, eDGe show fullscreen white\fullscreen black pixels several times in a row, to remove ghosting from the screen. It's slow. But with the small video, they can compare two images (current and next), and redraw only pixels which were changed. Also as far as I see from e-ink site, eDGe e-ink display (by itself) CAN support 16 greyscale, but it's somehow limited (probably by display driver).
Someone with good english, send a question to Joe Kralowetz (the one from EE who responsible for e-ink display driver)

Robot, your English is fine, really. Go ahead and write the developer so you get your questions answered and are able to explore any new thoughts that may occur to you.

As far as 16 vs 8 greyscale, I asked enTourage a while before release about a 16 version and they told me they could not get the screens, which was why they went with 8. Now, I don't know if they couldn't get the 16 screen for a certain cost or other requirement, since they were advertising the price. But it seems the screen is only 8 greyscale.

I just looking at http://www.eink.com/kits/amepd.html and as you can notice in e-ink tech spec there is the note: "16-level grayscale image capable; 8-levels currently available".

Oooh I hope that's the one the eDGe has, I'd like 16 levels sometime. Especially if it's just a software update.

I'm not sure about anyone else but I would get dizzy watching the screen flicker so many times. LOL

When I tried to explain an problem with PDF image zooming to tech support, it took me 3 emails and one video, beffore they understand what I'm talking about So probably someone can do this better (and faster) than me. Also, the more request means more interest, and more chances for this feature to be released in next updates

maybe their English is not so good.

I just read tech review of alex-reader, their screen also show only 8 levels of gray, but it was confirmed that it was developer's decision to limit it, as e-ink screen support 16 levels.

p.s. alex-reader is really good. IPS capative screen+full interaction with e-ink screen. Whish that eDGe has the same features.

I think Edge and Alex reader are 2 different beasts for 2 different jobs. Alex is a fantastic small reader but browsing and typing will be difficult on it. I want my edge as tablet, FULL internet browsing, email, reader (eliminating caring 2-3 books with me and a laptop), presentation device, full screen movie player. If my 1-4 wish list and full flash will be available this is going to be better than the Ipad (despite of decrepit design and tickness). I hope Edge MK4 will be my ideal device (slim, Oled LCD/ Reverse EINK (no need for Hinges, also you can change picture design when using as LCD only), integrated 3G, Android 4, flash 20 and Firefox 5 web Browser).
Oh, I hope entourage is reading this, but I can dream isn't it / or design one?

Really interesting Thank you for all links!! It shows that the EE has some advance for the e-ink side!!! With the future update it will be one step further for a EE swiss army knife.
