Well, don't hold your breath for 1600x1200.
I worked for Virtual i-O (the company that made the original product) a couple of years ago, and the LCD displays they use just are not going to get to that resolution anytime soon. (Those that do hit that resolution will be bigger, making for clunkier displays, and probably REALLY expensive)
I don't expect costs to drop much in the near future, either--I expect we will see minor drops in the cost of small LCD's over the next few years, but to get really cheap will require a new "breakthrough" in display technology--something different from the active-matrix LCD display--which I don't see in the next 2~3 years.
