Yeah I like my kindle, I destroy books with that device. There have been rumors that amazon has turned there back on e-ink, and the kindle 4 will be a tablet.

*geek

Adding video to channels (Geek) - requested by Trancecoach.

@mycroftholmes, you waited 45 minutes before bitching about no one touching this video? Come now.

That being said, this technology is fucking awesome and will be greatly influencing the future of display technology.

*quality!!!

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Issykitty.

MICROANTS?

Way cool

MICROANTS?


Muahaha!

6Hz?

Too slow; Didn't want.

The cameraman is a good interviewer.

Their tablet will be a separate device. Eventually, reflection-based display technology will take over for many applications, like computers. We are not far off. Hopefully, they can improve the refresh rates.

@MarineGunrock, I just see so many good science videos that languish. I assumed this one was going to die. It had no votes or views for a while.

I decided to go with the wifi only as downloading a book (what, 5-6 hours of enjoyment) can be done in like 20 seconds, and the extra money for the 3G means that many fewer books for the price. The response time and controls are retarded for web content, and free wifi is ubiquitous, so I just couldn't get myself to pay for it.

The "aPad" tablet on the other hand... sub $350 allegedly? includes worldwide 3G? I'll be first in line if I have to kill someone to do it.

Did he just wave a credit card at the camera, showing the full details?

bad to the bone

I just wish he'd explained how the passive color filter works. That's the bit I was most interested in hearing about.

From his explanation I'd guess the filter is made up of RGBW stripes, and the eink simply does its 16 shades of gray in behind for each strip to create the colour..

I suspect is an RGBW filter as seen here:

Different colors are displayed by illuminating select "subpixels" of the pattern.
