Mirasol display not for video?
So says this article i just found

http://www.thinq.co.uk/news/2010/2/1...er-than-e-ink/

Quote:
Because of the mechanical nature of the tech, it's unlikely to be much use for watching movies,
but then the embedded video shows video on the Mirasol demo unit right from the start

Maybe it just means that video quality won't be great and thus it won't be used much by most for movie watching?

The 5.7" screen Qualcomm were demonstrating for ebook use supposedly ran a bit below 30fps, though they do claim to have faster, more video-tailored versions.

The article just looks like bad reporting and conjecture.
