Yeah, thanks. I looked it up and that's one of the companies I read about mentioned in early Amazon tablet rumors. (A search comes up with other sources that made the same connection.)

...Amazon wanted to use a switchable "black and white E Ink-like display and a color LCD" hybrid but the two vendors approached (Qualcomm and Pixel Qi?) won't be ready with a suitable display until 2012 or 2013.
