I would love to see something akin to the Alphasmart Neo2[1], powered by a low consumption LCD screen. The closest I've seen are E-ink[2] or LCD+E-ink[3] typewriters.

Could be doable by throwing in a larger LCD panel. I think that a more sane platform to implementing a portable LCD typewriter would be either an Arduino with an SD card instead of going all of the way with an FPGA.
