I have a feeling Ara support is going to depend heavily on express user demand. In other words, we can't just hope various companies give it a shot, we have to ask them to. Google appears to have done a good job getting the core stuff supported and is interested in indie health hardware development, but if you want eink, keyboards and anything else that is very hard to come by on modern smartphones, you gotta let companies know you want it.
Tweet E Ink (the company that makes most of the electronic paper screens in major products and may have actually engaged with yota to make their dual screen phones) and ask them to make screen modules for @projectara here: https://twitter.com/EInk
Eink screens don't just have potential for ereaders, though wouldn't it be nice to have a platform agnostic device where you could use barnes and noble, amazon, kobo and other stores all on the same device? As well as your local library (mine has a lot of Kindle options, but some books are epub only and won't work on my kindle), your old abandoned store (I used to use ereader/fictionwise) and assets like audiobooks, podcasts, and music while your read. You could use readerware with far more options than traditional apps from Amazon et al, like fbreader, moon+ or aldiko. You could have your favorite news aggregation apps in tow as well as consuming content direct from a browser if you please. You could build exactly the reader you want and choose from three different sizes to boot (the largest endo is about a 6" screen, next about 4.x" and the smallest 3.x", and I loved reading on my old 3.5" Touch Pro 2 way back when).
But eink screens could also be nice on phones. Sure, you're not going to play videos or most games on them (though chess and the like could work), but there are times when battery life is paramount and you don't want to be looking for an outlet, and an eink screen might be really nice even if it weren't your primary screen. Screens aren't hotswappable, last I checked, but they can still be switched out, so you could slap your eink screen on before heading out on vacation or toss it in a bag before heading to the hospital for a family visitation of unknown length. Even when outlets are available, they aren't always convenient to use. You might also have multiple phones and have a line that relies on smartphone apps like google voice/hangouts, office, email etc, but that you don't much use for entertainment.
Please post any use case below that might encourage someone else to tweet E Ink (https://twitter.com/EInk) and ask for modules. And if you do tweet, I'd love if you'd post that you'd done it so I know someone else is interested. Thanks :good:
