Low-power, wireless displays made possible

I try not to get too worked up over press releases but it seems like they have a working prototype of this device - and that makes me excited.

I was just telling a co-worker this morning that I want a reflective screen (ala Kindle) as a second monitor at work. I'd love to put documentation up on it. Although this isn't quite it, it's a step in the right direction.

I really want a wireless screen I can paint onto any surface. It would have to be a self organising structure of some kind, and of course wirelessly powered.

I'd imagine that ScreenPaint would make printer ink look pretty cheap at first!

When this goes into large scale production I'll be interested in buying one. The concept is really cool. I don't care so much about the "even in sunlight" part, but rather the low power consumption is the good part.

This is really cool, but...

It really needs capacitance touch. Aside from watching movies, it's going to be a bear trying to move a mouse on one machine while the pointer is on another screen, perhaps pointing away from you.

I hate to complain, but that's the one feature that's missing from making this a truly breakthrough product. If they had that, I'd be a lot more psyched.
