Color E-Ink is "just around the corner" if you believe the marketing. Here's the latest from E Ink corporation: http://www.eink.com/press/images/image_release_86c.html It's certainly nowhere near as implausible as most of the designs on Yanko. That doesn't save this terrible design, of course! I can't see any provision for front-lighting for the display, so you had better get lost at daytime.

Ooops, should have mentioned great post!
