Those who love the minimalist, black-and-white screen of the Kindle Paperwhite would love this new unconventional smartphone.



Unveiled at the Mobile World Congress a couple of days ago is the first ‘Android phone with E Ink display’.



The E Ink Android smartphone offers all the functions of a regular smartphone, with 4 weeks of battery life (1 week for normal usage) and weighs 80gm.



Because E Ink screens don’t use any power when not actively changing displays, the phones would last as long as 4 weeks when on standby.



Like most e-readers, the interface is a little slow and not as lag-free, and the display has a lower resolution—unlike regular smartphones; but it does offer a better viewing experience under direct, strong sunlight.



The camera-less phone was developed by Taiwanese company E Ink that is currently working together with other companies to bring full-fledged E-Ink smartphones to the market.



The E Ink Android Smartphone is expected to cost €150 (US$200).

A Fun Cat Font Generator That Forms Words With Cats

“Neko Font”



Japanese website “Neko Font” is an adorable cat font generator that turns the your text into words formed by cats.



The site features a couple of cute felines, Raizo and Mondo, who are arranged in various positions to form the letters and punctuations of the English alphabet—except for the capital letter “B” and the hashtag “#”, because it is too difficult to form them with just two cats.



The ideal time-waster to help cat-lovers de-stress, we foresee many hours spent in front of the computer, dreaming up lovely cat typography.
