I want to know everything there's to know about the Daylight Computer tablet @Onmyom posted about yesterday https://om.co/2024/05/18/daylight-tablet/
Arun Venkatesan has the best overview of the device https://arun.is/blog/daylight-tablet/
It's an Android based iPad Air sized tablet device, with a focus on content creation rather than Media consumption. This is reinforced by a black and white screen (greyscale?), which is NOT e-ink.
It's really the screen technology that has me excited. Daylight is calling it LivePaper, and it has a refresh rate of 60Hz. Everything points to a RLCD screen, which have been around for a while. But if they managed to reduce the screen layers, it might be more successful
than existing options https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1933467193/worlds-first-60hz-color-rlcd-epaper-with-front-light
Reflective LCD screens might remind you of the Pixel Qi https://www.wired.com/2010/01/the-pixel-qi-display/ which "where going to replace eink" 14 years ago. I still remember being excited about the promise of having these screens in a tablet.
Over the past few months, eink tablets have continued to show up in the mainstream. Kindle Scribe, everything Boox, and even the minimal remarkable2 are in real users hands. I see a space for these iPad alternatives. Let's see what Daylight Computer announces this week https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6r1zaXMraS/
