Ebook readers are arguably coming of age, but don’t assume e-ink – and
the push to produce color e-ink panels – have won the game quite yet.
SlashGear met up with Qualcomm’s mirasol team today to discuss their
latest display news, and while you might remember the technology from
their early 1.1-inch single-color panels, they’re now showing off a
5.7-inch display capable of full color and video playback, with
minimal impact on battery life. They’ve set themselves the target of
having color ebook readers with mirasol panels on the market by the
latter part of 2010, and are working with OEMs now to achieve
that.

Just as Condé Nast celebrates the acceptance of the
special, digitized issue of GQ into Apple’s App store, the company is
now hoping and praying the rumors of an Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) Tablet will
come true next year. Just in case, CN is readying a digital version
Wired magazine, ads and all, for the awaited Apple gadget, MediaMemo’s
Peter Kafka reports. Ultimately, the plan is to create a template for
all 18 of CN’s titles.

Not that anyone should assume CN has any inside word on Apple’s plans,
as the publisher’s CEO Charles Townsend says the company isn’t
offering any clues. In any case, CN wants to make sure that its
digitized mags can fit any of the other large touch-screen products
that are definitely coming to the market. CN will rely on new software
from Adobe (NSDQ: ADBE), which is working exclusively with the
publisher on this. Other mag owners are expected to get the digital
mag software sometime next year.
