Until today, I had heard about display technologies like E-Ink, colored E-Ink, LCD, AMOLED, and various LED-y versions. But an LCD display that emulates the paper-like feel and most of the benefits of E-Ink without the abysmal refresh rate of E-Ink? I had never seen that.

But now I have. I had to troll the halls of IFA and venture to IFA Next, the hall where cool technology from the future (or smaller startups) lives, to find myself at HANNspree’s booth. And to say I was impressed would be an understatement. Their Android tablets were, by far, the most awesome thing I saw at IFA, and I think they deserved bigger exposure than being tucked away in a hall where no Android journalist ever ventures.
