    The document discusses low-cost, low-power computing and portable devices. It summarizes that: 1) The future of portable devices is focused on improving screen technology to be lower power and more readable in various lighting conditions like sunlight. 2) Pixel Qi is launching a new "3Qi" display in 2009 that has three display modes - a full color LCD mode, an e-paper-like reflective mode, and a transflective mode - all in a single low-power screen. 3) Improving screen technology is now more important than CPU power for the future of portable devices, as screens will be the key factor in determining a device's battery life and usability.
