Per above, it seems that you can MOD your existing netbook and plug one in?

"We are starting with a 10.1″ screen that can fit into a standard netbook laptop, and is driven in the same way. It’s plug, form, fit compatible - meaning one can unplug the existing screen in a 10″ netbook and plug our new screen right in"

Liliputing should get one of the samples and test it.

I just wonder what the screen looks like indoors using the color mode. The original OLPC had somewhat washed out colors. Everything is a trade-off. I doubt this technology can do everything as well as single purpose screens. That said, screens are big power users so any technology that reduces the power drain needs to be investigated.

Of course, we will have to wait and see… and preserve our excitement for when the comparisons and tests are done! Yet, since Mary Lou has delivered before, most likely she has done it again.

I'm pretty skeptical. We'll see in a month.

19 inch screens for netbooks, huh?

Faux pas aside, I'm glad to see the screen out in the wild, being shown off. I can't wait to own a netbook with one of these.

Anything to fight the heterogeneity of the current crop of netbooks.
