Bridgestone has been working on a new electronic paper display technology and it has delivered it. Besides all that color the new e-paper has one more useful feature, support for pen input. That’s right, you will be able to use a pen and play with it as much as you want.

The display itself is made from the Bridgestone QR-LPD electronic powder, the Wacom electromagnetic induction tablet and a color filter. Its refresh speed is what makes pen input possible. The refresh rate is 0.8 seconds compared to 15 seconds on the previous model. The device is not available yet and there’s no price for it yet. You know how it works…

Here’s a good gadget to have around. This is a true writing pen, which happens to capture video and store it on a 4GB USB. It’s a little a la James Bond but it’s a perfect tool to have around. Who knows what needs to be recorded during your regular day? And if nothing spectacular happens, then you still get to write with it. The only downside is the price. It costs $250 over at BrickHouse Security. You could get an 8GB 3G iPhone right there and add Dell Windows XP upgrade for the same price.
