OLPC Spinoff Pixel Qi Merges E-ink With LCD

MaryBethP writes with some tasty prototype photos and info about the new OLPC spin off "Pixel Qi" that is combining the best of e-ink and traditional LCD displays. "The screen can work as a traditional backlit LCD when indoors, can have that backlight disabled to be perfectly visible outdoors (shown after the break), and, as its pièce de résistance, can be toggled into an energy-efficient 'epaper' mode. How exactly the company is fitting these seemingly disparate slices of technology into a single 10.1-inch screen is something of a mystery, but we're guessing much will be answered next week ahead of a planned product launch by the end of the year. Color us intrigued."

Re:Summary is a complete ripoff!

Alright, maybe I was a bit hasty, I see that they did link to Engadget - I didn't see "Engadget" in the summary so I figured someone was just passing it off as their own writing. But should it have at least been mentioned that it was via Engadget, rather than leaving the reader to actually follow the link to see where the text came from? How does that work?
