I spotted at A Kindle World news that Amazon has bought Touchco, a New York area startup specializing in touch screen technology. The technology is billed as 'completely transparent' (although I'm sure that's a euphemism for 'very transparent'), and affordable to produce at $10 a square foot.
A Kindle World believes this fall will see a touch-screen enabled, possibly Mirasol color powered Kindle. I'm a bit more conservative, seeing as both technologies are yet-to-ship. Clearly Amazon has interest in affordable touchscreens, and for sure every eReader manufacturer is looking heavily towards Mirasol for future products, but the landscape is littered with products not quite ready to ship right now.
