Electronic Paper: LG Philips demonstrates color A4-size E-Paper
LG Philips LCD, the world’s second largest liquid crystal display maker, has developed the first A4-sized color electronic-paper.

At the same time Intel introduced its vision of future devices with the video below. Great ideas, we really liked the watch-like device…
