E-ink/e-paper goes colour

As we track the development of electronic paper, a key threshold is crossed, colour:

    We can put the significance of this in one word: Kindle.

    If the colour and speed of response barriers can be crossed, this revolutionises display technology, and drastically cuts down battery life issues.

    Potentially transformative.

    Come to think of it, I first saw it here!

    I can also see this used in those electronic picture frames.
