New weather forecaster uses E Ink
![]() Now Ambient Devices, another MIT spinout, have announced the Weather Wizard, a wireless weather station that displays a five day forecast using an E Ink display. The device gets weather information wirelessly over the Ambient Information Network, which covers over 90% of the U.S. population. Unlike Xerox's e-paper spin-out Gyricon, who recently pulled the plug on e-paper, E Ink has found several manufacturers to utilize their electronic paper display technologies in consumer-oriented devices. Full press release here. |

What amazes me is that E Ink technology isn't exactly new. E Ink has been around as a MIT spin-off since 2000, and the first E Ink products including the Librie since 2004. And now, all of a sudden, we're being flooded (not that I would mind) by E Ink-based gadgets. Perhaps the technology wasn't truly ready until now.
