the anecdotes I have heard from people who worked with Samsung are pretty consistent. They're infamous for just hanging up a conference call if things aren't going their way for a moment.

Why are there really only two choices in smartphone OS's anyway?

because Palm thought that launching a new platform on Verizon, the carrier that most people used, was a bad idea.

on one hand its red so they know their poo poo when it comes to cameras

on the other hand they had to push out the launch by 8 months because they didn't know they had to engage in pesky things such as 'Regulatory Testing' and 'Cellular Carrier Conformance Validation'

wasn’t the selling point of the pebble kickstarter that they were using e-ink for the display, but the actual product used a regular black and white LCD and they just called it “e-paper”

the panel was made by Sharp who called it that so they were just piggybacking I guess. E-ink requires zero power to maintain state, E-Paper aka Memory LCDs require some power to stay on but it's on the order of 10 micro-watts. I remember that your battery life would be affected by which design you chose, because the amount of energy required to change what was on-screen was determined by how many vertical columns needed to be modified.
