Charbax is a charmer. And he has a great relationship with Mary Lou Jepson of Pixel Qi. In the video after the break, he really gets her to talk — and we get an incredible look at the back of their booth, where their partner devices are displayed. The public usually doesn’t see this area.
Twin bombshells:
1) Pixel Qi has shipped three million units (why don’t we see them?!!?).
2) Jepson believes Pixel Qi will be “the dominant display technology in five years.”
What’s also interesting is right at the beginning. Outside, they compare an iPad to a Pixel Qi IR touch-enabled tablet. It’s no contest at all. And this is on a cloudy day!
That talk of a 9.7″ display with very high contrast and very wide viewing angles makes me wonder. Amazon? HP? Would Barnes & Noble make a NookColor Deluxe for magazines and children’s books?

Charbax also had inside information on the Nexus One from Google that Google was going to practically give them away for $199 with a $100 rebate with free voice and SMS. All to be subsidized via advertising. Don’t believe everything you read.
The news came out of Jepson’s mouth.
HTC got the final say, Andy Rubin, Larry Page, Eric Schmiodt want sub-$100 Android phones but the phone makers somehow prefer still selling them at $500.
Thankfully, the Chinese makers are making sub-$87 Android already: http://armdevices.net/2011/04/11/best-of-shenzhen-87-android-3-5-capacitive-phone-mtk6516-fg8/
It shouldn’t be long until we see those sub-$100 Android phones run latest Android versions, and be totally available at your local supermarket.
Didn’t Virgin just announce that its prepay phones will all be vanilla Android? Prepay MetroPCS here could sell a ton of cheap Andy phones too.
