The glass they use is just too reflective, they can work with that to improve visibility in sunlight.

Holy shit, today I was eating lunch near a mall when some douchebag came in (still had his trendy glasses on indoors so I'm going with douchebag) and sat behind me. He called a friend to talk about how he went to the Apple store to look at it and he said he loved it to death. I swear his points where that you can surf the web, check email, update his facebook, and how you can do it while sitting on a couch.

My guess is that Starbucks will remove tables from their places so people can sit with a knee up and they can surf the web.

By the way isn't this just a ungodly horrible great depression we are living in that Apple will sell every unit they crap out? Reminds me of growing up in the 30s.

Its a trade off, glossy glass to provide richer colors and black levels or reflection reducing glass to help glare but at the expense of image quality.
