I've been watching a little company called the E Ink Corporation, developer of Electronic paper, for several years now and it seems like they're finally starting to move their way more and more into the mainstream marketplace. A while back, Sony released their eBook reader featuring the monochrome technology that reportedly has the same contrast and reflective properties of paper, and reacts to sunlight in the same way paper does, making it an ideal medium for print formats such as eBooks, digital watches, cell phone displays, and in my mind creates new possibilities for WiFi Newspapers down the road, kind of like the live-update newspapers in the movie Minority Report.Visit their site e-ink.com for more info on the technology as well as samples of products using ePaper. If you're interested in creating your own eInk products, you can purchase a Prototyping Kit from their website.
