I am very interested in deveopments in eInk technologies. I wish I could buy
an eInk monitor with a DVI input so that I can use it for programming outside.
I like to sit on a terrace or on the beach, but laptops/LCD screens are
unreadable in bright sunlight; and these glossy screens they all seem to have
nowadays don't help).

I also noted the presenter rotates the prototype from landscape to portrait
and back, but the video doesn't rotate with it.

By the way, the cartoon video shown in the first video is Big Buck Bunny
(<http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/>), an award-winning short created using open
source software, primarily Blender.

An iPad doesn't need a backlight any more? Good Lord! When did that happen?
