LG Windows Phone 7 E-reader a Possibility?

Mar 2, 2010 E-Book Readers, LG

A week ago we’ve received the confirmation that LG will be making a Windows Phone 7 handset that will be available this year, but is the Asian company up for more? A recent speculation from Re-thik wireless claims that LG might also develop an e-reader running the same OS and ready to challenge the iPad, Kindle and JooJoo to a fight.

There’s even a launch date mentioned for this mystery device, April and some of us think that they could be talking about the Microsoft Courier, although that was a mere concept, last we checked. The info seems pretty solid, if we consider that LG announced last month that it was developing an e-reader and eventually a tablet.

As rumours continue, one thing is for sure: LG has been researching and developing technologies based on electronic paper and new screen technologies, so we might see something wicked surfacing this Spring.

Color e-Reader Saves Energy, Based on “Butterfly Technology”

Feb 17, 2010 E-Book Readers

Well, don’t we humans love to imitate the nature when creating new technologies? This is also the case of Qualcomm’s new display technology called Mirasol and shown in action in the video at the end of this article. Mirasol uses “reflective bits of color”, in order to display an image, drawing its inspiration from the iridescent scales on butterfly wings.

The new system consumes less power than E-ink and the results are stunning, as shown by the prototype pictured above. Let’s just hope that we’ll also see such displays on bigger gadgets, since it shows promise. We wonder if the displays are hard to manufacture and if they cost a lot…
