A concept active matrix electronic ink display called blueChute has been revealed by an employee of E Ink. The expected features include a microSD card slot, LPC2148 ARM 7 host processor, 8Track display controller board, bluetooth, hybrid frame scanner and short animation sequences.
Quoted from the source, "It is built from two thin layers of aluminum sandwiching an acrylic core. At just over 5mm thick, it is thinner than an ipod nano. About as thick as a stack of three US quarters, as shown below. Power is from four 2.6mm thick lithium polymer cells which have a combined capacity of 1360mAh. If the software does good power management this should be able to give a pretty long life."
