Very impressive, but I think running android on these devices make them look even more impractical than they really are. E ink displays have a very bad refresh rate, when you combine that to fancy smooth animations the result is a lagfest. We need to have redesigned interfaces for these type of device.
Speaking of refresh rate, at the end of the video you can see someone drawing on the screen and everything is rendered pretty quickly without having to redraw the entire screen, is that a different technology?
I don't think so. It's easy to "paint" over white because that's the base color of the medium, but "painting" over another color means you have to clear it first.
Also, we're trying to push our users to go paperless as much as we can, and while the need for some printers is still present, if we could make some devices like the reMarkable being able to access our universal print queue and have people send their paper notes there (and retrieve it from the print queue on the reMarkable) prior to their meetings, it would really make the experience seamless to their workflow and eliminate another source.
How is it being used by wacom for a graphics tablet if the update rate is sluggish? In the video with a stylus it looked perfectly fine, but navigating around android it was really bad. Does the update rate vary based on what needs added to the picture?
