What happened to the magical PixelQi: http://pixelqi.com/ http://pixelqi.com/ screens that we have been promised for the last 3 years? Supposedly completely reflective full color fast refreshing LCD screens with very low power consumption. Seems that all that's available is a screen that you have to hack into a very limited number of netbook models yourself. Low power screens would make a far greater impact than any advances in low power processing. Can't understand why Apple or somebody else isn't all over these.
Even if the color reproduction is terrible, imagine the benefits of being able to write code in the park. We'd be seeing a lot of very tan developers.

- webreac 14y agoscreens are too power hungry. The evolution is toward glasses that project light on you eye. The first steps were to remove keys and wires, the next one is to remove screen and speakers.
- mahyarm 14y agoI think it's more the backlight is power hungry, not the display itself. Direct projected light into the eyes seems to have the risk of probably causing vision problems.
