I've been following Pixel Qi for quite a while, and Jepsen said in an interview that they will be offering aftermarket screens for those who want to retrofit. She is a big proponent of DIY notebook and netbook modifications, and she specifically mentioned offering the screens to that set of consumers. Don't get all jaded yet.

It will be interesting to see who will commit to making units with these screens, and what the product mix is. Will they come to super-high-end machines first, or will they be targeted only at netbooks and ultraportables?

It would be nice if they would just offer the naked screen and backlight, so I could retrofit my existing Acer netbook. Really no sense in tossing a perfectly good computer just to get the screen I want, especially if they made it available in a retrofit kit.

I'm sure their margins would be fatter on individual sales, rather than OEM sales, but of course it would involve a retail operation, either their own or farmed out to some outfit that does this sort of thing, sort of like newegg, or Amazon.

I'd love to have this screen before I reach retirement age, when did they announce this? Wasn't it back in 1982 or does it just seem like its taking a long time……

Good to see Pixel Qi tech coming to fruition. In the ebook realm, there is little doubt that we need a second competitor outside of e-ink tech.

Feeling impatient, though I understand how these things take time. . . Likewise, I wonder what's the hold up with all the ARM-based netbooks? I'd been hoping to snag one for Christmas, but it looks like time's quickly running out on this season.

Maybe 2010 will be the year of the super-efficient netbook.

It has been a while since we heard any news about these screens. Good to know progress is being made. Too bad they will miss the holiday season.
