Hmmm, I have seen many videos of the supposed vaporware screens
running on the Notion Ink Adam.

If you want a 10" display the Notion Ink Adam runs about $500 with
wifi and Pixel Qi display.

Those waiting for the 7", ZTE is first to announce but not likely the
only one. *So far they only have 3G with wifi so a little more
expensive. *I am guessing from prices of similar models from ZTE about
$400 to $600 USD.

The NI Adam will run 3.0, not sure if the ZTE Light 2 will be able to
with the current processor, it is still at 2.2.

There will be many others soon, I am guessing even an iPad with the
Pixel Qi or similar screen. *I would not build a panel around any of
the current tablets unless it has one of the new sunlight readable
displays. *This market will change quickly in the next two years.


Pixel Qi screened devices seem to be the ones to wait for. Actually
B&W E ink screens would be great if they were on android OS machines
that would run XCSoar or LK8000. We really do not need color, and from
what I understand the Pixel Qi screens loose vivid colors in bright
sunlight becoming nearly B&W.
