I was looking at the photo for a minute before I even realized the cow had eyes :)]]>Jun 21st 2010 6:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/pvi-bets-the-farm-changes-name-to-e-ink/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/pvi-bets-the-farm-changes-name-to-e-ink/

My eyes don't hurt staring at my LCD screen for long periods, but I do feel eye strain.

That being said, try comparing an e-paper screen versus any LCD in direct sunlight. There's no comparison.]]>Jun 21st 2010 6:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/pvi-bets-the-farm-changes-name-to-e-ink/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/pvi-bets-the-farm-changes-name-to-e-ink/
Yes, by demonstrating a superior reading experience.

Similarly, e-ink is clearly a much better technology for reading than current alternatives (by which i mean, LCD displays) - and while there might be some future alternatives that are as good, that remains to be seen in real products. Given that e-ink was only ever likely to be a niche market (it's primarily for reading and not much else, cows aside), I can't imagine they'll have less - or more - success than they expect.

E-Ink has just begun to take off.

It doesn't really make sense to compare the two types of displays as if they are competitors. E-Ink is meant for thin, cheap, low-power reading devices. In the future they will be thinner, cheaper and flexible. You will still have your more powerful devices with fancy displays but that doesn't meat that the reading device market will go away.

E-Ink isn't antiquated technology. It's still getting started.

That is, if Liquavista and other companies don't beat them out in that game while delivering better speed.]]>Jun 21st 2010 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/pvi-bets-the-farm-changes-name-to-e-ink/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/pvi-bets-the-farm-changes-name-to-e-ink/
Since when did engadget editors become "the world"? I would still prefer an e-ink display any day of the week. I would be more than happy with something like Mirasol, but no lcd will ever match the readability of e-ink due to the necessity of extra layers over the screen.]]>Jun 21st 2010 3:15PM
