Mirasol color e-paper can play back video

Engadget saw Mirasol's color e-paper at CES 2010. The first devices based on this technology are expected in Fall 2010, and bundled with the right processor they'll even be able to play back video.
In the past, the company has stuck to making screens for relatively minuscule devices, but its latest display is a 5.7-inch XGA color screen that would fit just perfectly within your next e-reader. We spoke at length with executives, and they're currently predicting an ebook reader running Mirasol in Fall of this year. What we've heard "around" is that the device will actually be new Kindle running a Mirasol display -- we can't confirm it, but it sounds logical. What's interesting, though, is that this panel is not only color, but it can play back video when used with the right processor.
