Anybody an idea when we can write code on an eInk display? So we can finally code on a beach for real :)

Some e-ink readers with Android can run VNC apps.

Couple with a wireless keyboard and mouse, and you have a somewhat workable setup; but the e-ink latency is annoying.

(Immediately checks for author affiliation to eInk or some bullshit mid-tier American university with an "up and coming" tech transfer office) Awesome, maybe this will actually come to market with a reasonable license fee!

Uhm... I just want to say that I work in the display industry and have never heard comments like yours from my peers, or during conferences. Is there some unreasonable license fee going on that those of us who actually work in the display industry aren't aware of? The main place I've seen this refrain is repeatedly on HN including a HN comment that got cited by Boing Boing and blogs and then subsequent HN comments that cited those blogs and Boing Boing as their refrence. 1 Infinite Loop! Please have a look at my comment history as I keep asking about which patent or Eink misbehavior people are talking about. I'm still trying to figure out if the issue is real or some kind of Dunning Kruger effect from software people frustrated about the "slow" progress in displays. This would be the equivalent of a bunch of my display industry people coming on our display industry forums claiming that Google is blocking search engine progress, refusing to license search engine technology, and blocking technology from progressing and then justifying that claim by then giving you a set of Google patents and then shouting, see there's the clear proof that Google is a bad actor. I hope the analogy is clear and that it is also clear why I remain unconvinced about both!

Alec of the YouTube channel Technology Connections has a video[1] on his second channel that you might find interesting. He demonstrates how one can use modern E-Ink displays for basic Internet browsing and such.

I like an earlier thread about PaperTTY: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17896825 . The github project at https://github.com/joukos/PaperTTY links to youtube videos showing console use with an eink display.

> The switching dynamics showed that a complete switch took ∼1 min (see videos in the Supporting Information), which is slightly slower than for a WO3 film in direct contact with the electrolyte.(13) … but it is already sufficient for display applications where images do not necessarily need to be frequently updated (e.g., advertisement or decorative images).

So it ain’t gonna be with this particular technology. Doesn’t detract from the quality of the paper though. Very well presented and approachable.
