The only use I know of is just a simple full-page on-off flash.  They 
were using it for cigarette sales thingies.  Or at least, that's what I 
saw last time I visited the eink.com pages.  I can't find it now, but I 
thought there was a whole company that was doing adverts using e*ink...

Anyway, I was wandering JC Penny's the weekend before last, and didn't 
see anything... but then, I also wasn't really looking.  I'll let you 
know if I see something...

Suffice to say, you might see it sooner at a convenience store...
