It seems like a chicken and the egg problem but it really isn't: there's far more support for HD res than there is HD hardware out there.
Go to any etailer and check 1080p on laptop options: from 300 models you get 50 at best. There's very little choice too, AFAIK the Zenbook is the only 1080p ultrabook out there and I could only find 2 AMD laptops with HD screens.
Like I said before I don't know what's crazier: that a 10" tablet has a 2560x1600 screen for $399 or that a 15" laptop for $800 might not have a 1080p screen.
The irony is that its been years since I saw a sub-1080 monitor for sale, but XGA/720p laptops are still the norm.

Let's at least make 1080p the standard.
