Speaking of which, I love the tech in Palm Pilots. To this day I'd take the monochrome screen that lasts forever and is extremely responsive.

But seems like people prefer burning batteries that need daily recharging, or input lag.

Screen and OS is more like the black and white kindles, it loads an image to the screen and records what you draw on it. It's not live or fluid. There was a distinct screen flash when it updated new content.

If you mean the product linked in this post, then yep. Palm Pilots had nothing of that though :'(
