That's a powerful economic incentive, given that there is such a huge base for LCD screens already in existence.

Check out Pixel Qi screens, which will be coming soon. They're dual mode with a standard LCD screen but also a reflective screen for using under good light. I'm keeping an eye on the Notion Ink Adam, it looks amazing and will be released in a few months. Full color touchscreens are on the way. Check out Pixel Qi screens, which will be coming soon.

And congratulations with the new design - I like it! (although there seems to be a problem about this text box for comments: it is too long and interferes with the tags in the right site. I am probably going to buy an iPad (when it is released in Denmark), because I read a lot of different stuff on the Internet and I use Read It Later and Google Reader a lot. They are not spectacular long, but I have so many of them that I don't have the time to read it on my computer. I think if I got an iPad I would be more willing to sit on a chair or in the coach reading a piece or two in a day. I know that Kindle, Nook and other e-ink devices are better for your eyes, but the iPad seems superior when it comes to online stuff and things like that. And I have never owned any product from Apple, so this will be my first experience with their white machines :) Interesting. And congratulations with the new design – I like it!
