I'm guessing you are wrong because the speculation is that the iSlate will be priced under $1000. This screen cannot be cheap right now.]]>Jan 8th 2010 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/
Apple would completely revitalize themselves in my eyes if they used pixel qi. eink is dramatically over-rated, too expensive and far too slow. Something like this would keep a multimedia tablet a tablet, still allow excellent battery life, and keep costs down. If their alleged tablet uses the iphone OS, then that means apps for B&N, Kindle, AND eReader will available for it, to say nothing of the ever-popular stanza. I'd never buy an iPhone, but a pixelqi iSlate with the iPhone OS... maybe.]]>Jan 8th 2010 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/
Apple will likely be going with tried and true technology and not some upstart company. Too big a risk if you ask me. Apple's device will probably focus more on video media than merely the conventional book, magazines, newspaper stuff. I doubt if PixelQi displays are meant to handle gaming frame-rates.]]>Jan 9th 2010 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/Jan 8th 2010 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/Jan 8th 2010 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/
Anyways I'm hoping Engadget posts an article that reviews ALL the different e-Readers that were announced at this even cuz right now it just seems like one big giant clusterfuck...

Add in all the tablets that also could be e-readers my mind is spinning.

All I know is that the Kindle is fugly and the HP tablet doesn't look like anything special....

Of course Apple has me dying to know what they've got in the woodworks and chances are it could be the best thing since sliced bread.

All this anticipation is killing me though...]]>Jan 8th 2010 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/Jan 8th 2010 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/

But if the "Tablet whatever" is going to have this kind of tech, implemented in perfection. Featuring Multitouch and all the stuff. And if they would then be starting to sell books via iTunes. Kindle would most certainly suffer and depending on Apples pricing this suffering will end in a painful death. ]]>Jan 8th 2010 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/Eh, there are those of us who find Apple products to be entirely frustrating, so I don't think they can just kill the Kindle with a product that costs 3 times as much.]]>Jan 8th 2010 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/

You find computers frustrating?

I must admit, this kind of hybrid is going to be the Future and i LOVE it. Always hated to read long texts on LCD´s, and that is not only me but millions. I should get stock from Qi... if they are listed.]]>Jan 8th 2010 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/Jan 8th 2010 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/

That's what I've been hoping.]]>Jan 8th 2010 8:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/It would need to be thicker than its predecessors, and wouldn't get the same kind of battery life.]]>Jan 9th 2010 1:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/
first thing i did when i heard about what this company was developing was look to see if they were publicly traded. too bad they're not :-/

you better believe i'm picking up some stock tho if they do go public!]]>Jan 13th 2010 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/

I have an AAO, not the greatest netbook ever, but very widely sold. I'm hopeful that Pixel Qi follows through on conversion kits.]]>Jan 8th 2010 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/Jan 8th 2010 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/Jan 8th 2010 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/
I'm really excited for these screens because they promise the power of a computer with the battery life of an E-ink device. ]]>Jan 8th 2010 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/Jan 8th 2010 8:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/
Ectaco jetBook e-readers use a similar non-backlit LCD screen, and get good battery life with a low-power processor.

Make it thin and light, with SSD, and dual boot capable to a simple power-saving OS for when e-reading. Then when your PDF doesn't look so good on the e-reader screen, swap to your full OS. Or when you're running low on battery power, swap to e-reader mode.

Maybe two years away?]]>Jan 8th 2010 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/
Please stop this 16:9 nonsence. This screen format is not suitable for every situation. This is specially true for tablets.

Why should I need a long device when format that mimics a paper is more suitable for this?

Hopefull they will sort it out soon.]]>Jan 8th 2010 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/
Love the 16:9, keep it up. It's a wonderful AR for the large variety of media a tablet can handle AND it's a near approximation of legal paper and the ever handy 8x5 notepad formats.]]>Jan 8th 2010 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/Jan 8th 2010 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/Probably the most anticipated tech for this year by me personally.
BUT - I want to see some actual productions units and some in depth testing and review talking about the contrast vs e-ink while in reflective mode.
This vid wasn't that impressive but then you are seeing it through a camera and with sunlight backlighting it - not actually lighting it through most of the vid.
So, I am still quite hopeful for it.]]>Jan 9th 2010 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/Jan 29th 2010 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/Jan 10th 2010 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/Jan 29th 2010 10:35AM
