think about that for a minute... the new gameboys have about 10 hours of battery life due to that screen.  That's not much at all, which is why I'm planning on working in black and white.  Even lithium-ion power is just not enough to make anything that we come up with a practical device in color.  In addition, those will probably be VERY expensive.
	Look at it this way... for the design that I'm working on, a 256x128 display with EL built in costs $112.  That's annoyingly expensive by my standards.  Now, take a screen the quarter of that size, but make it COLOR?  That might still be worse, regardless of the size difference.
	just my two cents.
