Flat screen monitors

Saw a preview of an exhibition in Germany showing the new LED (not LCD) flat screen monitors on the market. For Computers, laptops and televisions. Some of these screens are only 3mm thick. (Yes three millimetres!) Foo Kmee. Why? Because they can? I am sure they will find many uses eventually but its just a very attractive, must-have gimmick. Like the iPhone was... but I now have one...  and I would never, ever give it back. I look at my wife's Nokia and it reminds me of the 1980's MS DOS operating system. It's so... computery in it's logic. 
I remember getting an iPod MP3 player, soon after there were dozens of clones on the market. Even the giant Sony had to clone it. None of them were a substitute for the real thing. They are products for people who cannot afford a real iPod. Although I think iTunes is a great store – it's far too expensive at 79p a track ! C'mon Apple. You're way ahead! Downloads should be 50p a track. Also Apple - we need a 40 inch touch screen monitor to do our graphics on. Death to the mouse and keyboard!
