WACOM and E-Ink teaming up

hokie · 05-20-2008, 12:42 PM

Digitizer specialists Wacom and e-paper manufacturers E Ink have announced a deal that will see the former’s digital ink technology incorporated into the latter’s low-power, paper-like electronic displays. It will open up the market for eBooks and newspapers that can be annotated and those notes stored and exchanged. The pair are describing the development as “the ultimate vision of an interactive piece of paper.”

Duplicate thread. Please continue the discussion here.

This is actually a different announcement. We have E Ink partnering with Wacom (here), and PVI partnering with F-Origin (the other discussion).

E Ink's latest broadsheet AM300 prototype kit now includes the Wacom Pen input feature.

Thanks for the clarification, Alex!
