Framgångarna tar fart för PRICER. Idag ny order. Denna gång från Japan. Ändå har vi knappt börjat. Skall man tro expertgruppen nedan så kommer det stora genombrottet i Nordamerika under 2011 och jag kommer osökt att tänka på WAL-MART med 9000 butiker.
University of Cincinnati researcher Jason Heikenfeld is part of an internationally prestigious team that specializes in research and development of e-devices. Based on his work, he provides a top ten list of electronic paper devices that consumers can expect in both the near term and in the next ten to 20 years.

Electronic shelf labels in grocery stores. Currently, it takes an employee the whole day to label the shelves in a grocery store. Imagine the cost savings if all such labels could be updated within seconds – allowing for, say, specials for one type of consumer who shops at 10 a.m. and updated specials for other shoppers stopping in at 5:30 p.m. Such electronic shelf labels are already in use in Europe and the West Coast and in limited, experimental use in other locales. The breakthrough for use of such electronic labels came when they could be implemented as low-power devices. Explained Heikenfeld, "The electronic labels basically only consume significant power when they are changed. When it's a set, static message and price, the e-shelf label is consuming such minimal power – thanks to reflective display technology – that it's highly economical and effective." The current e-shelf labels are monochrome, and researchers will keep busy to create high-color labels with low-power needs.

Wal-Mart är världens största detaljhandelskedja. Företaget är den största privata arbetsgivaren i USA, Kanada och Mexiko och dess marknadsandel inom detaljhandelsbranschen i USA är 8,9 procent. Wal-Marts omsättning är större än bruttonationalprodukten för många länder, men denna jämförelse är kontroversiell eftersom nationalekonomer inte uppfattar omsättning och BNP som jämförbara storheter.
