Why LG or Samsung are not interested in this technology? Are they developing something else on their own? Do they envy 3qi the technology? Or just is it a matter of money and connections? It seems that there are no economy of scale benefits now since the screen cost 275 USD - and despite the fact that pioneers pay always more than late customers - it is still too pricy. One month ago I have taken a part in the ICT conference in CEE country where one manufacturer has presented his solutions for kids (like XO laptops -But the solution were based on LCD and obsolete platform). I have noticed that so many people are unaware of Pixel qi and OLPC existence in the heart of Europe, that this situation creates a lot of opportunities for good businessmen. ;) I am not familiar with LCD manufacturers scheduled contracts, but it seems weird that we (customers) can not buy Pixel qi screens installed into new netbooks/tablets/notebooks at the moment.

Not only is the screen *too physically big* to fit but the plug is in a different place. Don't say you weren't warned. As a warning to others: the Lenovo S10-3 will *not* accommodate this screen.
