2. AMOLED's have a lifespan 1/5 of TFT LCD. I will admit that the lifespan is more than a regular person will own the device (2-3 years). However usage and quality of screen can result in potential screen failures for more than LCD.
AMOLED will certainly be the next generation of screen standard but I still hold it in a regard of early development as far as mobile devices are concern.

great info, i knew about the daylight thing so i had already figured it was useless to me but i didn't know about the lifespan
