E-Ink's Got Competition

The Wall Street Journal ran a rather long article today on the competition facing Prime View, the Taipai-based company behind the E-Ink screens used in the Sony Reader, Kindle, Nook, and many other brands of eReaders. Much of the article will be familiar to folks following eBook news, but there are a few facts worth pulling out to save you the trouble of slogging through the whole thing.

The first interesting factoid is that Prime View plans to roll out color E-Ink screens by the end of 2010, meaning, according to the company’s marketing VP, they most likely won’t be available in time for the 2010 holiday shopping season.
