Very interesting! This may explain the un-Googley-ness of the Android interface. I was racking my brain to figure out why the interface didn't have a blue, Gmail mobile /web app look and feel.

I consumed this article with much enthusiasm. It was filled with information and still very easy to read. My immediate thought though: I wonder how much battery-time you would gain by making the device monochrome (black/green) when you just intend to use it to, say, call or perhaps even read something. Maybe a mode like this already exists in Android? I don't have a Nexus one, so... :) Heck, if it doesn't exist, then…
800 horizontal pixels, but half of them can contain no red and the other half can contain no blue. Someone should cue the lawyers from the dithered LCD lawsuits. They will have a field day with this.
That's not accurate. The human eye uses primarily green to detect resolution. Red and blue are used for color. I wish I could find it, but there was an online example, where someone took a picture, divided it into the three channels, then pixelated (mosaic) one channel at a time and recombined it. When he did green you saw it right away. With red it took some pixelation before you could see it. And with blue it took…

I still want to see some real numbers on energy consumption between a 100% white and 100% black (but still powered) AMOLED. As the first two letters stand for active matrix, there's still a control voltage going through each pixel when it's at RGB000, so the difference may not be as great as it's often made out to be.

Interestingly, many camera sensors also have a dithered sensor pattern: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayer_filter - but a different arrangement of colors.
This phone should be great for displaying raw images, since you can show the subpixels with a one to one relationship.
