I only take one smartphone serious for now. And that one has no AMOLED. 8)
If Steve does not want an AMOLED yet, there must be something wrong with it :laugh:

I read somewhere that they hacked Android onto a iPhone 2G. Maybe that's the best of both worlds for you :)

There isn't anything wrong with AMOLED technology. Google just chose not to put the more expense displays in their phone. There are 3 sub pixel 32 bit AMOLED displays out there and they look fantastic. They also use less power and handle tensile mechanical strain far better than LCDs. The biggest problem that AMOLED has is lifespan but for phones that's hardly and issue. Who keeps their phone for 5-6 years and uses it 8 hours a day?
Apple doesn't use AMOLED because Apple builds cheapo hardware. They do a good job with the user interface and ecosystem but the hardware itself is nothing exciting. It's usually not cutting edge but rather the commodity stuff that enables Apple to build a cheap device that they sell at huge markups.

OK, so the Courier has been cancelled. Ah well.

Well the HP Slate is ultimately most likely going to be slimmed down rather than cancelled right? Didn't quite understand their idea to put Windows 7 on something that's esentially a PDA. I assumed they would come out with an Android version soon after.
Palm was big in the PDA market once so if (big screen) PDA's are going to make a comeback, maybe buying them isn't such a bad idea for HP. Palm was alo working on a netbook type device (Foleo or something) before Asus came out with one and took the market by storm. Although Apple's idea was more like a big PDA with a keyboard rather than a small laptop. Maybe Palm was even working on a tablet of their own already?
Either way it's just going to be just one more offering of essentialy the same thing. I really would have liked to see the Courier.
