Eccohawk has an interesting point though, I think I would buy this 'digital newspaper', but I guess since less and less people actually read voluntarily funding for it would be limited to help launch it if at all.

AS IF!!! I mean, I know the technology exists, but how much did you spend to get this?

I agree with those who say it´s rather disappointing, I was really expecting something more spectacular. Anywayz I guess it must be quite expensive to issue 100 000 of those, a matter of costs. Reminds me of those picture-changing rulers I had back in the 80s ;). But hey it´s only 6 bucks!

This technology is going to change the world as we know it.

CHILL OUT fmafan3410!! I wasn't even "talking" to you, I was replying to a comment by Eccohawk. Jeez, are you two lovers or something? And NO, I wasn't saying the same thing as him, next time try and read it. I was saying the idea of of having a device dedicated only for e-paper makes no sense!

I think that (and someone corect me if I'm wrong) the lab making the e-ink display teamed up with esquire directly (with Ford sponsorship to take some of the cost off of us)

You're basicly saying the exact same thing as eccohawk just did. Of course I do agree that it is more cost-effective to just have one e-paper computer that you then download whatever you want onto it.But yeah, next time try expressing your opinon without jumping down the other person's throat.

You have to understand that this is the FIRST implemenation of this technology out of a lab. It's not advanced enough yet to change colors or anything. Just on and off. It has nothing to do with the editor or business manager being cheap. So yes, this is all there is but this is just the first step in e-ink and e-paper tech and it is an exciting one. |
