I don't know enough about how e-paper is better than e-ink, bit it would need to support 60fps for smooth cursor movement and animation. I don't see the benefit myself, because even though System 7 looks best in black and white the apps you run can and do still display in colour.
Newton can be emulated on your iPhone or iPad using an app called Einstein, but you'll need a stylus as the interface elements are tiny and require a great deal of precision.
- dredmorbius 3y agoNB, "e-ink" is a special case of "e-paper". The terms "e-paper" or "electronic paper" tends to be a generic label usually applied to electrophoretic displays, though there are numerous other technologies (Gyricon, electrowetting, interferometry, plasmonics). E-Ink[tm] is a specific technology and trademark owned by E-Ink Corporation, covered by numerous patents, and to date has relied on electrophoretics. I've addressed display characteristics in another comment to this thread here: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39198053 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39198053>. I can assure you that if e-ink characteristics and strengths are addressed by UI/UX design, e-ink can be quite satisfactory and is often preferable to other display options.
