The 60 nit standard itself was set to enable a 5 hour battery life, not that anyone ever used their notebook at 60 nits. 60 Nits was chosen because some lamps would actually shut off below that level, so it was the minimum brightness wher you could do stnadardized testing. There is generally nothing in display industry standards performance measurement that is cognizant of environment lighting. This is enabling of the dubious competition regarding contrast ratios; ratios that are well above what humans can see but not actually realized in use. As you point out, the 5K:1 ratios advertised fall to less than 10:1 when the display is used outside or in a bright office. The NIST standards are much more attuned to what the users actually experiences. The Mobile mark standard can be pliable depending on what the notebook industry wants the results to be.

The benchmark's creators had no idea someone would accomplish something on this level. We'll probably see a "Hybrid" or an "e-Book" benchmark within the first few weeks (software programming takes time ;) of Qi3-equipped devices coming to market. I mean, it's not apples-to-apples, you are losing color, after all (in exchange for MUCH sharper B&W than you would normally get from dropping color, of course), but surely there'll be options to account for your screen technology in the benchmark (allowing for comparison between manufacturers, or even generations of said screen tech in the future) eventually.

I fear you can not deliver sufficient battery life for ebook mode without this feature. And I really dont want to wait until March or even later... :-/ A decent ebook reader should endure at least a little more than one day, so that I don't have to worry about recharging. OTOH, the mass market seems to be fine with 2-3 hours battery life for laptops, so I guess it wont hurt your sales if the first version only reaches 6-9 hours.. And I wouldn't worry about some mobile benchmark, I never even heard about that thing.
