   I’ll bet you could make one for the Kindle, and it would be more authentic, because the Kindle is black and white and the Etch-a-sketch was also monochrome. On the other hand, there is apparently an Etch-A-Sketch Iphad app, so that helps. Still don’t want an Ifrag. I hear they are slow.

   Couldn’t yet do an etch-a-sketch for a kindle. It has to switch the screen black-to-white before changing images. Which is why you can’t (yet!) watch videos on one.

   I’d love to see laptop and cellphone screens in color using the e-ink displays. Would save a ton of battery power.

   Ahh I see, now that the link loaded… it isn’t an etch a sketch app, it’s a case. Now that’s neat.

   @hippie and Andrea: yep to “slow iPhads” and color “e-ink”–that’s why I’m fighting the temptation to order one of these. With a dual core nVidia processor and auto-adjusting/switchable transflective screen that does 64fps 1080p even in “epaper” (grayscale) mode, it pretty well answers most of my own iPhad objections (including being free of the Apple OS/app straitjacket). Heck, it even has “insert your own SIM card here” as well as multiple USB prts and an HDMI port. Aw, shucks, here I am tempting myself–again!–to sign up for the next production run…
