Isn't the Pebble using E-Paper and not E-Ink? Wikipedia says the original Pebble used an 144×168 pixel Sharp Memory LCD (http://www.sharpmemorylcd.com/1-26-inch-memory-lcd.html)

Correct. E-ink screens don't have a FPS anywhere near what is displayed in the video, and there wasn't any screen refreshing. The Pebble is using a LCD with no backlight, the terminology is slightly confusing.

Yes, I misread. So now I'm not really impressed with anything about the product. ;-)
