Keep an eye on this tech: Qualcomm Mirasol Display
iPads are awesome. I love the OS and the video is great for playing games & watching movies. However, as an e-reader, the Kindle is better.
The Amazone Kindle has the best display for reading, but its operating system is not so great for web browsing and add-on apps.
What I'd really like is a color Kindle screen on the iPad.
This tech might provide that.

Apple Insider reports on a patent filed by Apple that may solve my text reading complaint. The patent involves layering an e-ink display over the top of the typical color display; the operating system dynamically figures out which one to use for the data displayed.
