Sounds cool, but I feel like saying something. I'm a huge fan of keeping up with new TV tech and knowing what's good and what not, but I'm not sold on oled tv sets yet. I've seen LCD tv's that are simply mind blowingly good, while still being cheaper than a smaller OLED tv. The average life of an LCD tv is a good 50,000 hours, while the average life of an OLED tv is limited to about 6000-7000 hours due to the short life of the blue organic phosphor. You also have the possibility of screen burn-in. That's a high price to pay for such a short life. As for computer use as display monitors, there is no screen small enough to truly display the resolution as well as LCD's can...at this point anyways.

I feel like they are pushing something that is such an expensive technology, when people have yet to fully utilize the very impressive led/lcd screens.

Yeah, yeah....I know, the first stuff always costs a lot...blah blah blah.

With that said, the physical properties of an OLED screen fit perfectly in line with Apples go thin, or go home design schemes.
Enough of my rant.
