I want a netbook with e-ink. (of course we'll need higher res, color, faster response time e-ink, plus a built in reading light since they aren't backlit)
But this to me would be the ultimate portable computing device. add a headset with VoiP service and set up some way of getting calls without constantly draining the computers battery and you have a killer device.

The color you would get on an E-ink display would be pretty crappy. Because of the limitations of technology, you wouldn't be able to get any better color images than what a newspaper has. E-ink displays are also pretty slow to refresh. They would have do something that doesn't use rasterization.

doesn't look too bad. especially considering that this is new display tech.
