There was some change, but not nearly as much as the with the laptops. I think I have read that the iPads use some form of the IPS switching technology (not sure if I have that right) similar to better desktop monitors. Is that true? And, if so, why couldn't that be incorporated into the laptops? The iPads tout very long battery life, so whatever technology they are using for the better display it doesn't seem to be a big battery drain.

I assume that IPS will become standard on all Apple products before too long; once they learn a lesson or embrace a technology, they tend to maximize it...
