Hi there, (to Mike from Moto San Francisco)
I saw the video demo shown here:
androidandme.com/2009/02/videos/android-meets-e-ink .
Interesting stuff! I've been working on similar things, I run Android
on the AM300 kit directly as well as Fennec and standard X apps on the
AM300 kit. I had posted some details and video of my work here,
highlycomposite2.blogspot.com/2009/02/android-on-e-ink.html . I
have posted my drivers for E-Ink controllers to the linux kernel,
including broadsheetfb which was recently merged into mainline. I hope
it is of interest and would love to collaborate with you guys too.
Thanks,
jaya

Jeffrey Sharkey 17 days agoThat's an awesome video!! :)
Is it a strictly monochrome screen, or does it do levels of grey? The platform provides some sub-pixel font rendering, but I'm wondering if the algorithm could be modified slightly to produce better results on screens like this.
Also, you could easily replace the Launcher homescreen with any other Android app, such as a book reader front-end, which might launch over to other installed apps.
Are these screens touch-able, or would it only be using a dpad for navigation?
Hardware hacks are always cool stuff. :) -
nuthinking 12 days agoIt is definitely a good effort. It seems to me though that there isn't so much sense to use front-end technologies, or frameworks, which are born to build animated GUI (Flash, iPhone SDK and Android too). HTML could be more than enough, maybe Mozilla Prism?

David Rogers 10 days agoThis is an important project. The eink display has tremendous potential for learning applications in a rural context. I manage an Android development team at the University of Central Florida working on an LMS that would be ideal for this kind of hardware, and we would be happy to collaborate with your team.
