A few days ago we saw how Apple would be working with E-Ink to create accessories with electronic ink. Specifically, we speak of a keyboard that instead of keys uses an electronic ink panel. But it seems that Apple will not be the only company to have it.
We have recently met a new device from Microsoft Research that not only works with electronic ink but also gives a new function to electronic ink. So this device is a desktop accessory that allows us to will show notifications via NFC and bluetooth, something interesting for those who work with mobile phones and other devices.
We could meet the new Microsoft accessory tomorrow
The new gadget Microsoft Research is working on has a low resolution e-ink screen, plus this Microsoft device will have wireless connection and solar recharging, something that will make us not spend a lot on electricity or have another charger on the work table.
This device will show notifications and various elements such as calls, notes, reminders, etc. Thus, this Microsoft gadget will try to be the perfect substitute for postit. Unfortunately we do not know if this product will finally be on the market, since Microsoft Research is the research unit and not a department that launches products. We could even venture and say that we could meet this device tomorrow at the official Microsoft event, although there is nothing confirmed about it.
I personally believe that this ePaper will be released as Microsoft does not usually skimp on products that are related to the companyHowever, I do not know if users will really use this device as something usual or if it will simply have a higher resolution, something that would be very interesting to show not only letters but also deeper images, graphics or texts Do not you think?
