What if I want this display tech but just as a monitor to use with my existing setup for doing engineering work? (E.g. emacs, tiling window manager, etc.)

The device as it's presented looks like a consumption device ("tablet" etc), but tech like this seems like it'd be most useful for a production device (general purpose computing device, programming/development tools).

I'd like the display, but uncoupled from the lifestyle assumptions that come with a consumer lifestyle tablet accessory...

There are a few techniques for using an Android device as a second monitor. I assume those would also work for the Daylight Computer.

Keep an eye on the market for RLCD monitors. I read Hanspree are releasing one ~Sept.
