Tell me that ain’t an impressive beauty. The chick, not the clock. Such a fine shape I ain’t ever seen…
No of course I meant the clock. (sigh, yes, I can hear your groans already). But yes, my friends, that above is eInk demonstrated. I mean, obviously it’d be a lot more impressive were it a video of the time ticking over, but you can see the principle demonstrated there and tell quite clearly: the future, it will be beautiful. I love the future.
I was just about to say: she isn’t all that pretty!
Funky clock though. All you have to do is find a wall big enough to fit it on.
Does it matter? I’d just have it hanging randomly somewhere, probably vertical =)
Oh, current price is $4000. That’s the bit where you go “yeouch.” – But it has possibilities for advertising.
Doesn’t EVERYTHING have possibilities for advertising though?
yeah that’s true enough, but i’m talking more along the lines of changing advertising on that kind of thin display… dunno what exactly I was thinking when I said that, but partially that thru advertising we may see more of it (giant changing billboards?) and that will bring prices down and thus i can have a giant digital wall clock in my future house =)
It has potential for quite a few applications. The real question is will it actually be utilised on a decent scale in most of them, and the answer is, like most cool technologies, probably not. Unless it gets backing from a huge Japanese electronics company.
Yeah… I want a roll-up laptop screen! Or a newspaper that I never have to throw away…
Cool stuff that.
