Forgive me for being pedantic, but I stand by what I said. There's no such thing (to the best of my knowledge) as a backlit transflective LCD screen - all such screens (if lit at all) have side-lighting, not back lighting. A transflective screen is opaque (it works by reflecting light, hence the name) and so cannot be backlit.

The point I was making, however, was that backlit screens, such as the iPad, cannot be read outside in full sunlight.
