it will eventually come to both but the pro first. they will market it as an amazing professional product for photo and video editing.

Apparently IGZO screens are potentially easier to make in higher pixel densities. If Sharp (or someone else) gets that working on mass production lines soon, then I suspect that will be the technology Apple use.

The iPad rumours pointed towards the device getting thicker because IGZO wasn't useable in time. The possible thinness of IGZO points the finger more towards the Air being able to use it, but I still think the top end Pro machines will still get the top end screens first.

Thanks for the heads up.

Well, Sharp seems to be up something in regards to IGZO production. (Original PDF)

If these ever find their way into Macbooks I just hope we'll see them in the 13" MBP/MBA (or even better: the 11") eventually. I'm not getting another 15" as it's simply to large to lug around in my user scenario.

Nice find. IGZO "High-resolution notebook PCs" shortly followed by "High-resolution LCD monitors", both in Q2. Although it does say Tablet terminals in Q1, which hasn't happened yet (a search shows their financial year as ending March 31st, so Q1 about to start). Still, Sharp talking about high-resolution has got me more hopeful that Retina Macs are on the way.
