They bought in big-time on Sharp' s promises of significantly better battery life on the IGZO backplane tech. I haven't seen much made of the battery size on the new models but they seem to have ended up with a slight gain in power consumption... at the cost at a slight image quality loss.
It's not the end of the world but screen quality has been Apple's calling card for a while so the blogosphere is making an issue of it.
As is, buyers likely won't care and those that do are more likely to spring for the Air, so it'll be a net gain anyway.
