More likely, apple wants to sell you another ipad a few months later when they are forced by competition to also integrate the Pixel Qi LCD screen technology.
That's the way apple operates, milking the same cash sheep as many times as they can.
I don't know exactly when the first Pixel Qi based devices are going to be available on the market. But I am sure that if Apple had wanted to be the first with the screen commercially available on the market they could have.
Just as if Apple wanted they could support Flash on the iphone, they could support DivX, Flac, Ogg vorbis, Mpeg2 on the iphone, they could support other devices in iTunes, they could provide subscription music services, they could provide an open applications platform for the iphone, they could provide a removable battery on the iphone, they could provide an applications platform for multi-tasking on the iphone, they could support Google Voice, Apple could even use Android. The fact is that they don't do any of these things.
The reason Apple doesn't do all those things are not in terms of considerations for what may be best for consumers, but based on their choices for how they think they can make the most money.
