Kindle to get Qualcomm Mirasol? - Update3

Qualcomm's Mirasol color technology to be put on the Kindle later this year?

UPDATE 1-3   - Good video - the others are done in poor light.  Maybe a color Kindle in the Fall 2010 if quoted statements are accurate.

See my earlier blog article with more information on the technology, and voicing a hope.

This is what FoxNews Science and Technology writer Clayton Morris writes today:
' Exclusive: Tech Behind Next-Gen Kindle Revealed?

I'm floored by Qualcomm's new display technology, Mirasol...

Imagine three solid weeks without recharging your device! The company boasts that its display uses a "low power, video capable, sunlight viewable, color display that will shake up the e-reader market and open new doors for publishers."

Sound like a hefty proposition? Perhaps not.

When pressed about who its partner might be in 2010, a company spokesman asked me, "You know that device that everyone reads books on?  Well, it's going to be a game changer on a device we all know."

Like tens of thousands of other people, I read ebooks on a Kindle. Is the Mirasol color screen coming to a Kindle near me? One can only hope.  What other eReader would someone assume I use? '
I hope it's true, and if it is, maybe Jeff Bezos may be surprised a partner would give this hint. Or maybe not -- it could be a "The Kindle won't be killed" thought. Below are ways to Share this post if you'd like others to see it.
