What I would want is an e-ink display to plug in, so the pandora could double as an e-reader, the update frequency for it would not have to be good at all as only still images will be shown.
Do you really see any use in that? The resolution of the Pandora's screen is very high, it should be difficult to distinguish individual pixels. The size is also pretty good, you should be able to put quite a bit of text on there. You can hold it sideways to get a portrait orientation. All that should pretty much make it perfect for ebooks and I could not justify carrying a big external device around with it that draws power and costs money, only for reading books. Of course, you can if you find a compatible USB device, I simply don't see what would be the point... :huh:
It's actually a great idea. First of all, if you've ever tried to read an ebook on a small screen, you'll know that it gets to be a pain. Second of all, the whole point of an e-ink display is that it uses very little power compared to normal screens. This is because it can keep an image on its screen without using any power; it only requires power when changing the image on the screen. You could turn the pandora's lcd off, and then use the e-ink display instead.
