Tim,

The *Pixel Qi screen is OK in the sun notice they did not show any
true colors in the picture. * *If you want to see the best in the sun..

It is designed for sunlight readabiltiy.

I don't need color and the reduced energy use would be extremely
helpful in the glider. I look forward to this technology being tried
for use in the glider. I don't see any data on the refresh rates in
the e-paper mode, that will be the determining factor if one can be
used in the glider.
