Sounds like this is the impressive high-res-black-and-white-or-low-res-colour display technology of the OLPC laptops, available for other companies to use. I'm looking forward to it.

Indeed, I'm very curious to see that, too. Didn't know they could make e-ink displays suitable for video playback already?

This sounds almost too good to be true.

yea, I used my OLPC mostly as a PDF reader. It was great for reading books outdoors
