It’s funny that the description of the display says 4G on the first line :p
Also, doesn’t it look more like a square or is it another badly html’ed image?

The O is for Organic and it is awesome. Each element emits light directly (no backlight). Thinner, brighter, better color gamut, faster response times, better viewing angles, and lower power. The problem is lifespan and cost. The new space suits NASA is designing for the Constellation missions will include one on the wrist (à la Orion in “Chuck”). If the next iPhone has an OLED (some rumors say yes), AT&T would have to do something incredibly stupid (like uping the data plan another $10/month) to keep me from getting one.

Doc, you are aware it is an LCD screen and not an LED screen right? Although, you may be using LED in this post on purpose. In that case, it would mean your subtle humor has flown right over my head.

Actually an OLED screen on the iPhone would be awesome but would raise the price. i don’t think it’s cheap enough to use OLED screens yet for iphone, but I could be wrong.
