Does it have one of these screens? Last I read it had a more conventional LCD.

I must be hallucinating. But it's far from conventional. Here's what the website says:

with a dual-mode display--both a full-color, transmissive DVD mode, and a second display option that is black and white reflective and sunlight-readable at 3X the resolution

The first-generation machine will have a novel, dual-mode display that represents improvements to the LCD displays commonly found in inexpensive DVD players. These displays can be used in high-resolution black and white in bright sunlight--all at a cost of approximately $35.

Still sounds pretty cutting edge. And $35? Surely there are other applications for this amazing, cheap technology. Of course none exist yet, maybe therein lies the rub.

Sorry if I've drifted off topic
