E-ink is pretty cool, but I'm really just waiting on one to figure out that actually the unlit LCD displays were a nice feature that no one should have ever done away with. Crap like this feels like a nice illustration of how no, actually capitalism does not do a good job of satisfying human needs.
I would be declined to despair that such a technology will ever emerge again, but I also never thought that manufacturers would go back to making smartphones that are small enough to fit in a pocket and operate on-handed, which I'm suddenly seeing everywhere again. Almost makes me want a smart phone. Almost.
