The ReadWriteWeb has great article and video of a new E Ink product coming out of a company called Plastic Logic. It's interface is an integrated touchscreen.According to Plastic Logic's web site the eReader screen is 8 1/2" x 11" (standard US letter), and its less then 7mm thick and weighs only 16 oz. About the size of a thin magazine, but its rigid which I think is much better than flexible in terms of usability.
What's more is it supports many different publishing formats including PDF, DOC(X), XLS(X), PPT(X), TEXT, RTF, HTML, JPEG, PNG, BMP, ePub, and eReader Format. They also plan to have a publisher program which I guess is kind of like iPhone Apps but for content.
But the best part, of course, is that its touch screen. The importance of combining E Ink products and touchscreen technology can't be understated. It will change the very fabrick of our existence. While the Kindel is nice, this thing is the future. Very cool, guys!
