When can I get a sunlight readable screen in my cell phone/smart phone or conventional laptop?

It's possible by the end of 2008 or early 2009.  Announcments will be made when the Pixel Qi's partners in this effort are ready.

When can I buy a $75 laptop?

While Pixel Qi has said that it believes a $75 laptop will be ready in about two years.  Pixel Qi is focused on delivering screens to a gamut of low-cost computing platforms to enable lower priced laptops to evolve.  Lower cost laptops won't happen without lower priced components and Pixel Qi is tackling the most and expensive and power hungry one first: the screen.   To buy the laptop  we suggest you stay in touch with One Laptop per Child.

Why are you competing with OLPC?

Pixel Qi is collaborating with OLPC to continuously and dramatically lower the cost of laptops.  There is no competition. Pixel Qi is providing OLPC with products at cost.

Will you hire me?

Pixel Qi has posted job descriptions and is hiring now

I'm want to buy $75 laptops for the school children in my region, what is the next step?

Please work with One Laptop per Child on this.  They will be distributing Pixel Qi's products for educational use.  Pixel Qi is committed to delivering OLPC products at cost. There is no cost savings by working with Pixel Qi, and OLPC is better set up to serve your needs.

Can you elaborate on any commitments to open hardware?

We are working on this and forming a plan currently. We are taking advice from the community and well regarded experts in this area.
