Assuming the bulk of your use is indoors that is true. Although the backlight does eat a huge amount of power you can always turn it up to compensate. If on the otherhand you want to use the device outside in bright sunlight then the backlight is fairly meaningless. That is where I would expect the screen to just not be as clear. Obviously this does depend a lot on what you are going to use the thing for.

Who said anything about a flash card. On board storage flash is a far better option. I doubt we'll see 128M become common for a long time, it's only going to be on units that are trying to out spec the competition at the cost of performance.

As you said, everyone looks for different things, we'll just have to see which way the market jumps. To smaller more phone like things or larger higher res. devices.
