October Release of Esquire Features E-Ink Cover
September 8, 2008 by Geeks are Sexy | 4 comments
A while ago, we wrote about how magazine covers would eventually go high-tech, and specifically, how Esquire would soon revolutionize the world of offline publications by featuring an animated E-Ink cover on one of their upcoming issue. Well folks, a video showing the magazine’s cover has just been released, and I must say, I’m quite disappointed by the result. Ok, I know that this is the first e-cover ever, but still, I was expecting something a little flashier. Video after the jump.

What a weak demonstration of the capabilities! I’m so disappointed. I’m hoping the hacking community will be able to show what they can really do with this!
Yeah. Looks like crap to me. OMG they resurrected the blink tag! *yawn* move along, nothing to see here.
I got 8 of these, and I can tell you now that the hacking community is going to be able to do absolutely dick. There’s are no pixels. It’s only individually ‘lit’ panels. The best you could do is alter the order and combination in which they’re lit.
Kind of disappointing eh?
8 Of them? :) Think they’ll be worth something someday? :)
