The author is clueless about the response time of E-Ink. Also, no one is noting that E-Ink achieves a lot of its power thriftiness by being a reflective screen, not a luminescent screen.
Also, eInk is not OLED.

#22I'll have to disagree with the rest of the commenters here. These concept devices are useful the same way (as they essentially are) science fiction is. Inspiration and a focus on new ideas instead of implementation. Too much focus on the latter can distract engineers from solving higher-level user problems. You just have to look at them more as sci-fi than vaporware.
100% true, but as everyone is doing such concepts, the value of a particular one is rather low. Few ones get implemented, and these are what's really valued.

#23This is NOT a Nokia concept phone. This is a 'just a sketch' design by Mac Funamizu. You can see the originals on his blog here: http://petitinvention.wordpress.com/2008/10/08/just-a-sketch... , where he links to the Nokia Aeon video on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5jPtUym7oc . Altogether, a nice phone but not connected to Nokia in any way as far as I can tell.
