I think ebook readers like the Kindle, the Nook, and the Sony Reader are pretty cool.  When you first gape at that e-ink it’s pretty hard not to be impressed.  It just looks so, well, like text.  The problem with those readers is that they are so one dimensional.  Well, Pixel Qi is really going to give them a run for their money.

I love simple ideas that work.  They are usually the ones that last anyway.  Forget all the flash and pyrotechnics.  Give me an unadulterated addon thingy that just works.  Well, while CES went bongo over 3D televisions, I sighted me this neat app called Inklet.  So cute.  So very cute – and deadly.  Okay, not deadly…handy.
