This press release came down on Friday, but I wanted some time to digest the lengthy press release because there’s more than just Android on a E-Ink display in this release.

First, the headline is that MOTO Development Group has the first example of Android running on a E-Ink display.

E-Ink displays are like the displays that run the Amazon Kindle.  They are low power, black and white screens for the moment.  Imagine having a color version of this with a touchscreen layer on top.  You could probably gain some battery life with these screens or at the very least have a Android powered eReader.

Also in the press release is this little tasty tidbit:

MOTO labs is working towards customized solutions that employ not only Android but Ubuntu, Linux, and Adobe AIR platforms for custom web-connected application development. We are actively extending our multi-touch and gestural interfaces expertise to these platforms. MOTO is also developing prototypes for better remote management of connected devices with a range of approaches from Mac & PC based device management applications to over-the- air wireless firmware and software updates. Stay tuned to labs.moto.com for more on this thread.

So what are they getting at?  Is Moto working on a Mid?  What about the Adobe Air thing?  Maybe a mobile phone that runs Air applications?  It’s anyone’s guess.  Make sure to keep checking the site for more details.  I certainly will.
