There are two main products out now with this new display technology - the Sony one and the Irex Iliad.
I have a working solution on the Irex Iliad (1024x768 display) and except for the naff battery life (5-10 hrs) and the pig slow user interface it works perfectly well for Jeppview plates, though only very marginally for the free EAD plates because they were drawn for A4-size printing.
I briefly saw the Sony device and it seemed better than the Iliad.
The real problem is that there is no "official" way to print off Jeppview plates for say all of Europe, to PDFs, sorted in directories by country/airport/ plate etc so as to be easy to browse using the Iliad's slow user interface. You can sit in front of Jeppview and print off a load of PDFs but what you really want is an automated solution. If somebody did this they would not be advertising it, however... In the USA, the free NACO plates make this sort of thing possible and a few people have done it - complete with a suitable user interface which overcomes the very slow display updating.
The Iliad really needs the installation of the 3rd party PDF reader (see the irextechnologies user forums) which does not display those space-wasting buttons on the bottom of every page. I don't play with unix so never bothered to install this replacement PDF reader. With that installed, it would be very good. Because it draws very little power, it doesn't get warm/hot (like all laptop technology based products do).
However, I print off plates for departure, destination and alternates and the very few occassions that I needed other plates in a great hurry I have other solutions on the LS800 tablet which I have running anyway in the cockpit, for emergency VFR GPS moving map usage, and satellite weather data.
Nobody TMK has yet produced a product based on the new displays which is a generally usable computer running e.g. a web browser - the display writing speed is incredibly slow so this is a difficult task. But it may come one day. The thing is that the aviation market is insignificant and the "e-book reader" market doesn't need any more than a PDF display device.
A&C - the plates you describe are from Aerad. I am suprised anybody is using electronic data from Aerad - I thought they died out except in the dark corners of British Airways who once owned them
