Explain to us what the point of this would be? Sure, it'd be nice to read Engadget Mobile on a much larger screen, but who in the world is going to carry and use this with them when it defeats the purpose of portability and adds no functionality of a keyboard or any such thing?

how about when you wake up in the morning, set your phone next to it, and in 12 seconds have the newspaper delivered? No paper wasted, and no gas wasted for deliveries. ...and since its an e-ink screen, it wont strain your eyes to read. wouldn't have to walk through cold/rain/snow to get your paper in the morning!

Great presentation on E-Paper:

Also...maybe im just not up to date on current technology ...last time i checked e-ink paper was only one color so that image would be greyscale?
