Some analysts claim these new Fujitsu displays use RGB laser diodes,
but if so, how is it that they retain their image with no power? Link,

Who the hell are "some analysts"?

E-paper has been around in various forms for at least 10 years. It's
passive reflective, doesn't emit light, just like regular paper.

Do you think it is the "frog eggs" technology in color? I thought that
was a Xerox patent.

Never heard of that. Some company, maybe E-Paper, had a technology
that involved using electric fields to move ink particles around
inside tiny plastic capsules. Low contrast, slow, b&w only, as I
recall.

Who needs a flexible display? Sounds niche-y to me.

If it was free (in performance and features as well as cost), lots of
people would want them. Palm's number one warranty issue is broken
displays. E-books would be nice if you could throw them around like
real books (maybe someday they'll be better than real books- light,
300dpi+, full reflective color, waterproof and float so you can take
them to the beach or read them in the bath).

So, roll-up, limited-life oled or e-paper screens could become the
next inkjet refill: the tv's are almost free, but you have to buy a
new screen every 3 month for $99.95. Sounds like a winner.

Now there's a $1bn idea. A few subtle mods and technology is pretty
much here today. What's Carleton (Carly) Sneed Fiorina doing these
days? Wolfie snatched her World Bank gig.

And our friend Nina is taking e.r. from HP. Full year's salary plus
the retirement stuff. She says she hasn't actually had any real work
to do in the last few years.

Beer cans with changing sports trivia??? That would keep me amused for
a very long time...

She's not trashing it, she's retiring. Carly trashed HP.
