It might be too late for this model, but enabling the tablet to be used as a USB monitor, with all tablet functionality / storage hidden from the PC OS, or as a wi-di monitor, would easily justify a large chunk of the cost for some of us, and provide the tablet a useful life long past its last android os update.

#462Without going into pricing details, what's the longevity of an e-ink device at 60fps? As far as I understand it, e-ink has essentially a "finite" albeit a very large number of refreshes available, when moving the "nodules" to display different images. Has the issue been solved? E.g. will users be able to get at least 5-7 years of heavy usage out of this device? Or will this become e-waste after 2-3 years?

#464Hi yall, founder of Daylight here. Happy to answer any questions you have. Long time lurker, so this is pretty cool to finally take part :) I made this because I wanted the eye-strain free and minimalist qualities of my kindle/Eink applied to so much more of what I do on a computer. Lack of speed and ghosting felt like it made traditional Eink impossible to do most computing tasks. So we focused on making the most Pa…
One problem with reMarkable tablet that I have, is that the stylus' head is not quite completely immovable. It's a bit loose. Does the stylus for Daylight have the same issue?

Please, tell me there's a phone coming along. Light Phone made a mistake not going Android. You totally nailed it with that casually dropped Spotify icon in that shot! I personally have zero use for a tablet. But if I can have an eink phone, with all the authentication apps I need to connect to work and do banking (and maps and Spotify), I'll drop that iPhone that is frying the brains of my kids instantly.

RLCD, so the screen itself is transparent? If it were rendering an image, and a spotlight shown through it, would it project the image effectively? I've had some silly little art projects that I'd love to try this screen for, if you have any spares/prototypes or anything you wouldn't mind selling or sharing!

No, because shining a spotlight through it wouldn't result in an in-focus image. Draw something on some transparent plastic wrap and shine a light through it and observe what occurs.

Thank you! This quick overview is helpful: https://player.vimeo.com/video/922512661
It looks like the speed of the video is at 1.25 or something like that. The hand/finger moves kinda un-naturally. Is it just me? Either way, it looks great. I do watch some YT vids, but I focus on the audio (i.e. watching some urgent news on Sky News (live) - video detail is not as important when something very bad has happened).
(There's a lot of staging and other "creative presentation" that's legitimate marketing - but if you're talking about speed/responsiveness at all, you really need to be explicit.)
