Pixel Qi e-ink / LCD hybrid display to debut on tablet next month?

It's been far, far too long (read: four months) since we've heard a peep from the gentle souls over at Pixel Qi, but it looks like the long, heart-wrenching wait for the hybrid display that's bound to revolutionize Western civilization is nearing an end. According to the startup's CEO herself, Mary Lou Jepsen, the primetime-ready 3Qi display should make its glorious debut on an undisclosed tablet to be announced next month. For those out of the loop, this transflective display contains both e-ink and LCD properties, one for outdoor reading scenarios and the other for multimedia viewing. The amazing part is that toggling between the two is as simple as flipping a switch, which obviously means great things for battery life on whatever device it's shoved into. We'll be keeping our eyes peeled for more, but do us a favor and cross your fingers for good luck. Toes too, por favor.

[Thanks, Tom]

One question for all who concerns about this screen?

Is it really a hi-tech? Is it that hard for the LCD manufacturers like Sharp, LG, Toshiba-panasonic to make such a LCD?

Definitely NO!!! These bastards never know what we consumers really want. Ms.Mary knows, but some Ms.Mary should have known it earlier!!!
