So I heard Steve making fun of people whining about screen burn in on plasma and I think you're leaning a little too far into the plasma fanboy corner. You should atleast make fun of LCD fanboys with an honest disclaimer that plasma is not for everyone (namely HTPC users who intend to actually use the set as a monitor for Windows apps). Unless there's some secret anti-burn in technology that all the plasma manufacturers are putting into their sets and neglecting to tell us about, extended use of a plasma with a HTPC still equals a bad idea. I realize that HTPC use is still relatively rare, but I think MOST people are buying these sets with 5 or even 10 years of ownership in mind, and the HT landscape could shift towards a lot of PC integration into the HT environment in that period of time. Fine, yes, the plasma looks better, but it aint perfect for everyone.
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.
