#2Phenomenal news.
I’m hoping competition drives prices down. Remarkable 2 looks neat but so expensive. Now there’s choice.

Most of the expense on these e-ink tablets comes from the huge cost of that screen, so unless Huawei is willing to subsidize this product and monetize your private data instead, I doubt this will be significantly cheaper than the competition.
Regardless of price though, I'm not willing to out my private data on Huawei devices.

Supernote seems to be a popular alternative.

Also I want to recommend this one: Onyx Boox Nova3 Not so wallet gardened, and with a modern Android (so you could use google maps, openstreet maps or whatever among many other things)

Are there no other companies apart from e-ink?

There's already been choice in the 10.3" eInk note pad segment, Kobo Elipsa, Fujitsu Quaderno, Boox Note and Note Air, Likebook P10W, Supernote A5X, etc. It's just such a niche thing combined with most of the devices being Asian focused and remarkable heavy online marketing that makes them seem like the only option.

There is no "other company".
E-ink owns the parents, the fabs and the secret sauce to profitably producing quality e-ink film in good yelds.
Even without the parents, building fabs and the film profitably without their secret sauce would be impossible.
It's kind of like the early days of OLED when Samsung was the only one who could fab the tech profitably.
