Pixel Qi vs Kindle vs Toshiba R600 vs regular LCD tablet

Mary Lou I'm hoping you're in talks with Asus... I would LOVE to see this technology integrated with the new ION powered netbooks coming out on the market!!!

Recent news was that Steve Jobs acted as some kind of advisor to Nicholas Negroponte for the OLPC. So there might be some contact between Jobs and Mary Lou Jepsen and maybe the rumored Apple Tablet will have a Pixel Qi display.
Just dreaming

One screen to rule them all.

Since eInk readers are not comfortable in handling yet and just another machine you have to buy and carry around, I'd say the chances are good this new display is the early end of them.

But what's WAY more important is that this is the first display for WRITERS (programmers etc.).

When you have ever seen an eInk device at work you notice that they have high response time and they generate only whole pages! No way this could be the device for writing of any kind. Which our eyes crave for!

"just another machine you have to buy and carry around"

This is why I feel like e-paper technology should have been combined with LCD technology in the first place - who needs another device? It's the same thing with PDAs and cellular phones - how many thousands of dollars are we going to tote around in a briefcase. Thanks for the logical comment - haven't read one in a while.

this screen is awesome beyond words :)

This much I will agree with.

dedicated ereader devices are now officially dead :D :D :) ;)

I would have to disagree. The Pixel Qi has the daylight readability, which should be enough to eat away at some of the demand for such devices, but the eInk used in the dedicated readers is still thinner and lighter (especially the versions with a plastic substrate) and allows for epic battery life due to its bistable nature.

the kindle looks pretty good but for the comparison the font types and sizes look all different
