I'm in no rush to get one, simply curious at this point.
I've been following news of this device pretty closely as well, and haven't seen any complaints about the display. I also was under the impression that the price for North American had been publicly announced at "sub-$200," which in retail speak means $199.99... I suppose that's not a guarantee, although they'd have an awful lot of egg on their face if they released it for more after so much pricing publicity. Anyway, I'm hoping they stick to the April release!
