What I mean is, given that the majority of usage will take place indoors, I hope the colours / contrast / depth is comparable to competitor products using LCD / OLED. If it isn't, these will fail to become mainstream and will only serve the niche market.

I see these being excellent screens to use in e-readers though as I'd personally much rather have the faster screen updating and colour screen with a slight trade off in battery. You're still gonna get fanastic battery life outdoors so Qi could spell the end of E-Ink? Perhaps?]]>Jun 2nd 2010 6:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/Jun 2nd 2010 6:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/

Hello Steve Jobs.....this needs to be part of the next iPad OK???]]>Jun 2nd 2010 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/
Have you seen how bad modern laptop screens are? What I mean to say is, a) the bar isn't set very high for Pixel Qi and b) even if Pixel Qi's contrast and gamut are not that great, it'll probably sell just fine. As for me, I don't expect any kind of decent color rendition on a laptop (except maybe the very few with RGB-LED backlights) and if Pixel Qi is a little worse than the average, but gives me the option to turn off the backlight? Great! And when I get home, I'll just plug into my nice wide-gamut monitor.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 8:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/Jun 2nd 2010 4:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/Jun 2nd 2010 5:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/Jun 2nd 2010 4:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/Jun 2nd 2010 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/Jun 2nd 2010 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/Jun 2nd 2010 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/Jun 2nd 2010 4:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/Jun 2nd 2010 5:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/did they mention resistive? i notice wacom's active digitizer mentioned, but nothing about resistive.

I second that. To really work a tablet needs to replace something. That's what made the iPhone so successful. It replaced many things. No more need to carry calculators, dictionaries, guitar tuners, portable gaming consoles, mp3 players, ...

With the iPad, it just adds something, with no real convergence (with the possible exception of e-readers, though I think they mainly fall into the same category as the iPad - really cool things we play with for a week or two and then tend to notice it just sits on the shelf a lot.

BUT - give me this screen with an active digitizer and capacitive touch (yes, a little thicker, but we're talking an extra mm), then we're set. Why? Because it gives us that funky cool world of smooth touch, and it would let us replace all those notepads we carry around for jotting notes, diagramming, sketching, etc.

After all, that's why 98.9% of comments about the Courrier were something along the lines of "HOLY SHIPS I NEED IT!" May he rest in peace.

I concur, with the stipulation that the color screen be as nice as the one already on the iPad. ]]>Jun 2nd 2010 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/Jun 2nd 2010 5:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/Jun 2nd 2010 5:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/Jun 2nd 2010 5:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/Jun 2nd 2010 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/pixelqi-introduces-tablet-ready-screens-we-go-hands-on-video/
