This device contains various flight documents for power pilots, but the
interesting part is the use of a "digital paper" display. Other than
retail
store signs, this is the first commercial use of digital paper that I

seen.

Mororola's new F3 mobile phone, which apparently has just started
shipping in India, uses an E ink display. Its a low cost phone aimed at
3rd world users. The display retains what it was last showing when the
phone is turned off.

If you want to check the display legibility, details and photos are

Here is more about the technology, plus a photo of a screen that seems

Now THAT will be nice. I currently get my sectional charts in
electronic form, then print the parts I need and place into a thin
booklet of plastic sheet protectors. These displays would make an
excellent addition to a moving map display on the screen. The digital
paper can provide extra non-animated information, while the screen on
the panel can be less cluttered and provide only what's needed for fast
inflight decisions.
