There are rumors that Amazon may be readying to release a full color Kindle e-reader in time for Christmas, following a Mirasol screen tech product demo this week.
At a product demo at Qualcomm in San Diego – Mirasol's parent company – the company's Marketing Director, Cheryl Goodman, confirmed that contracts have been signed and that the new colour screen technology would be in 5.7 inch e-readers later in 2010. ...
Mirasol's screens are able to run video content, and require a minuscule 1mW of power to run. In comparison, it takes 100 milliwatts to power an equivalent AMOLED screen. ...
"Activity will come from the e-reader sector first," said Cheryl Goodman ... . "We are working towards the end of the year, beginning of next, and with multiple vendors."
When asked directly about future plans for the Amazon Kindle, Goodman declined to answer, telling Pocket-lint, "multiple deals are in the queue."
