Whats AMOLED??
 

Iv been considering getting the new Omnia 2(i8000) and I seen it has a AMOLED display. I have no idea what that is but all the reviews make a big deal about it. I googled it but didnt understand what it ment either.
So do any of you know what it is?

AMOLED is the acronym for active-matrix organic light-emitting diode, an emerging display technology for use in mobile devices
like mobile phones. OLED describes a specific type of ultra thin, ultra bright display technology
Active-matrix OLED displays provide the same video-rate performance as their passive-matrix OLED counterparts,
but they consume significantly less power.

I read that on wiki, so is it like the super smooth shiney looking screen like most new laptops have??
Iv read the definition but still cant picture what its gonna look like.
Do any other devices have it?
Sounds like its gonna improve battery life alot?
are there any drawbacks?

Here is an article that might help you understand a little more about AMOLED, but yes, it will be less battery consumption and looks sleeker. It is like comparing LCD TV and the newer LED TV.
