Yeah this doesn't mean it's officially dead and in fact the article doesn't say that, but...
I did read that Canon is changing course to focus on OLED technology since the lawsuit - which would lend some credence to what you've said. I still think there will be some SED's out though. We'll see.

SED, OLED, LED, FED...none of it means a thing until it can be competitively priced. I don't care what technology is in a TV, I'm not payin 5k for a 40" screen.

There's a good part to that. New technoly is verry expensive. Figure on a new gen set to run $10k or better.
Figure on what's state of the art now, ie LCDs, to come in price. Whereas a 40" Sony might cost $2000-$2500 now, be down to $1000-$1500 when the new gen stuff comes out.

I always buy old tech
I wouldn't count on that so much just yet, Sony will never drop their prices, too stubborn (they still sell a 40" XBR2 for $2700...and the XBR2/3 series are just absolute crap in the quality department). There is still a baseline number that needs to be met to make a profit on the TV's. I think LCD's are nearing their bottom right now.
