I don't know about getting one. However, I understand this technology
is great for an Ebook with basically static page displays, but screen updates are very slow. It wouldn't work well with continuously updated moving map displays.

I suspect you may be confusing E-Ink with Qualcom's Mirasol display.
E-Ink is slow but Mirasol is easily fast enough to display video in vibrant color. As for getting one, there are grey market sources if you want it right now but I expect to see a device like it on sale world-wide soon. Most e-readers have proven vulnerable to rooting so Android is potentially doable. I suspect a Windows 8 tablet with the technology will be available in 2012.
