Now that is something new and sweet. Eink is a bliss for your eyes because it is not backlit - so perfect for reading. Lets hope this is not just a concept.

e-ink sure is battery efficient as it consumes battery of only for screen updates. But on a phone, the no of screen updates will be a lot . Consider with 1 update a second, I don't think is going make it that battery efficient

With all those chinese crappy phones coming and going it was about time for the russians to do something about it and step in. Noce to see some innovation at last!
Let's hope they don't get sued. :)

And the most interesting is that how the inside of the smartphone will be reachable, since the displays would be unable to remove, and creating a hot-swap battery would not be appropriate.
Still innovation... but lets wait for february :)

This is a wonderfull idea! Now I just want a Tablet with the same features!

I love my Kindle Touch to read books but when I just want to surf I have to bring my tablet as well...

This would mean a 2 in 1 product that would fit my needs perfectly. Hope both Apple and the Droid companys pic up on this idea!
