Oct. 21st, 2005 10:24 amBeen reading a lot about the evolution of electronic paper film computer screen thingies. You know what would be cool? Remember those slap bracelets from the 80's? The thin strips of metal covered in vinyl that were straight until you slapped them on your wrist and they wrapped around? How about one of those with this electronic paper stuff? One side could have a watch face and the other would be like a customizable news ticker. Every time a story or subject you were watching came up, you'd get a notification (maybe the bracelet vibrates like a cell phone), like Google News. Then you could just flip over your wrist and read the story. Like the top and bottom could extend to like 3x5", then retract when you were done reading. It could have an integrated web browser or e-book function (or be wirelessly networked to your computer/Blackberry whatever as a secondary display). That would rock.
