15" OLED Panel from LG Headed for Apple Notebook This Summer?

Note that the product strings for the iPhone and iPod touch show 3,1 and 2,2. Maybe 3,1 will use OLED while 2,2 will use the regular displays.
I could see this as an expensive BTO for the MBA. This would give Apple and LG some real world experience with a small number of units in the field. If something goes wrong they only have to replace a few tens of thousands, not millions of units. MBA is less likely to be used for color critical work so small amounts of color shift could be tolerable. Perhaps they'd offer a calibration service at the Apple store. Then maybe a year out with a better process and some real world experience they could lower the price and bring this to the MBP line.
If they do come out with an OLED iPhone that would simply be over the top wonderful.

Seems likely to begin with the iPhone/Touch - over the top wonderful t'will be!
hmm so what real world improvements could be see from such a technology being in the portable range??
power reductions?
sharper images
flexible screens?
clear screens??
what else is possible?

I'm really hoping for an Nehalem+OLED 15" MBPro.
If that's so, I really hope you can configure the notebook hardware options if at all possible. Really not bothered about BluRay or SSD in the slightest, thus would dearly love to be able to have the ability to not waste good money on such options that could otherwise be better put toward others, such as the OLED display and of course the new Intel architecture.
Love,

MacBook Pro Touch ? Kind of like zombitronics awesome mockups - but having a touchscreen - the ability to swivel the screen around 180, then fold so the back of the screen is over the keyboard, and it's folded into a tablet? ala

Just to be clear, I didn't make the mockups, I just posted them. I don't want to take credit away from the guy who did them, because they are pretty incredible.
The swivel method is kind of cool, but I think the flexible screen is cooler. You still get a tablet form, but you can have it as a half-size tablet or a full-size tablet. The downside is that the screen is exposed, unlike the swivel method. From what I understand, OLEDs are pretty durable, though.
haha i thought not (no offense) - they look amazing though thanks for posting them
do they improve res rates at all?? what about contrast ratios? hmmmm.. (wishes one was rich)

Resolution; not that I know of. They are very high res, but I haven't read about anything insane. Contrast ratios; absolutely. A black pixel is off so it's as black as the screen, itself. With no back light needed, there's nothing to illuminate the black part of the screen, leaving it darker.
thats excellent to hear! a TRUE black black!
im so excited!! i read that its printed onto its media via injet printers!!! that is insane! bring it onThat's usually because of non-synchronized refresh rates. For example on TV when they shoot video of other TVs, if they aren't synched, they will look like they flicker but in person they don't. The instant the video camera took the picture, the light guns on the display were in their vertical blank period.
So do Macbooks. It's a match made in heaven
Seriously, 1440x900 in a 15", they could do better. Say 1680x1050.
See here for some achieved resolutions.
The best is a 27-inch and a 40-inch, both at 1920x1080, or 1080p.
Those are the most beautiful spoofed mac concept images I've ever seen. And not just because of the potential of the product. The execution is stunning.
