THIS is the cockpit display tech we need

OK, is it possible to get one ?
Hacked to run Android ?

I don't know about getting one. However, I understand this technology
is great for an Ebook with basically static page displays, but screen
updates are very slow. It wouldn't work well with continuously updated
moving map displays.

I suspect you may be confusing E-Ink with Qualcom's Mirasol display.
E-Ink is slow but Mirasol is easily fast enough to display video in
vibrant color.

As for getting one, there are grey market sources if you want it right
now but I expect to see a device like it on sale world-wide soon.
Most e-readers have proven vulnerable to rooting so Android is
potentially doable. I suspect a Windows 8 tablet with the technology
will be available in 2012.

Perhaps this device has potential -

Day light readable 5.7 inch Mirasol and runs Android 2.3

That's the one I posted yesterday ;-)

With the locked down UI running on top of Android 2.3 :-).

Ever heard of jailbreaking? ;-)

Oops, sorry Dave for some reason I missed that. Yes, same unit.

Another Mirasol spotting, unclear if available in the west:
