Artile is a new project on Kickstarter that aims to develop wireless (Bluetooth) 6"E Ink photo frames. The idea is that you can hang these frames in which you can change the photo that is displayed using your mobile phone. While these frames will most likely be hang on a wall at home (it will be easy to hand them, too), they can also be placed on your car, in restaurants, on windows - and wherever you like as there's no need for a power source (the battery should last for over a year).

This is a cool idea. If you like it, you can hop over to Kickstarter and support them. For $75, you will get one a kit with one frame and the required mobile phone software (and for $99 you will get housing and hangers, too). I hope this project will reach its goal, I helped a bit too with one early-bird backing...

A couple of weeks ago we reported that Scott Liu (E Ink Holidings' Chairman and CEO) resigned from the company due to personal reasons, and today we're sad to report that Sriram Peruvemba, E Ink's marketing chief is also leaving. Sriram has been with E Ink since 2007, and will go to work for Cambrios as their CMO. Cambrios makes transparent conductors using silver nano wires - and these can be used for in OLED displays , LCDs, e-paper displays and solar panels.

On a personal note I want to wish Sriram all the best. He's always been friendly and helpful for me here at E-Ink-Info and I'll surely miss him at E Ink. I hope the company will find someone capable and nice enough to take his place...
