I have been following intelliPaper [1] for a few years now ever ever since a close friend quit his job to go hack on this full time with a small team bringing the technology to market with manufacturing in the USA. It really is a cool story about what goes into the product they have today [2] and some of the challenges the company has gone through to get where they are, including having to survive a flood in manufacturing! [3]. For all those of you that work in manufacturing you know first hand the challenges that goes into ramping up production to more than 500,000 units a month [4]. Drop a quick note to the CEO Andrew DePaula and give him support[5], little words of encouragement mean alot to all of us pursuing our passion - and these guys are! I wish intelliPaper the best.
Update: There is little publicly available information about what is inside intellipaper. There is a small note from cypress [6] that enCoRe V USB microcontroller might be used. They should bring out an additional contact and make the 10-bit ADC accessible! I'd put a little DMM app in my business card, or add a long wire and do a SDR radio. now that would be cool.
