Sony SmartBand fitness tracker with e-Ink

I've long been a fan of the Pebble watch particularly due to it's e-Ink display and have followed it from the start on Kickstarter. e-Ink technologies have been a personal interest for over 15 years now from lab demos to finally seeing this in a range of products, and hopefully this is only the start as flexible/thin material products start to emerge.














Sony just this week announced the SmartBand Talk (see the white version here) at IFA which combined a fitness tracker with a watch using an e-Ink display and can link with Android devices. Cool! This is certainly a step on from the earlier LCD versions which also have an improved version with theSmartWatch 3 SWR50.
