The Mac LED Cinema Display (a LED backlit LCD) was sold starting Nov 08. Big TV LED backlit LCDs were all over the retail outlets all year in 2009. Almost ALL Sony, Dell, HP and Asus 16:9 laptop displays for the ENTIRE year of 2009 were LED backlit LCDs, so how is my timeline off.

All of the new smaller display gadgets coming out now are LED backlit LCD because the manufacturing process is ultimately cheaper because of a very low failure rate of LEDs compared to other backlighting sources. And we are talking about a new, yet to emerge device in this thread, so its safe to assume that it will use the prevailing latest affordable tech and go with an LED backlit LCD.
