    well, that's a possibility, as early as last year, Samsung has come up with concept products that use e-paper and e-ink technology that resembles a full-fledge PDA

    this is a great product should it come off... it will make it easier for us to keep our phones running for a very long time, I am concerned however as to how it would address the slow response rate that plagues e-paper.

    another thing that bothers me is that it's not wireless at all, you need a USB to get info from your laptop or desktop computer

    Samsung has taken great pains in their research and development. I am awed at the company's current line of e-paper and e-ink technologies, particularly the OLED screen that can be folded in half!

    Give it more time you guys, now that Samsung, Microsoft and Plastic Logic are in full competition, e-paper could only get better and better... right now, they have high-color e-paper displays, which was not possible when e-paper was introduced in 2005!

    This is a great and informative article, thanks for sharing it here. I didn't see it on the blogs part of the site, maybe because it was buried in all that information.

    I think the slow response rates that hinders interactivity and menu scrolling is one that's being ironed out now. I really do hope they get a solution to this hitch really really soon!

    nothing stirs my blood like a good round of competition! I agree, these three companies would soon be in a battle over who could offer the best products, at the lowest prices!

    I am excited at the prospect of merging all these gadgets... PDA, phone, ebook reader, what nots... :) But really, a full-fledged PDA would be a good addition to the list of devices that uses epaper technology.
