Is this really a problem? I use handhelds perhaps 10 hours a week... that would be 520 hours per year or 5200 hours in 10 years. Some weeks it can be much more than 10 hours, if a game really catches me... but in other weeks, the device ain't used at all.
In 2010 Samsung promised to increase the lifespan of amoled-displays from 50,000 hours to 100,000 hours: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Samsung-Promises-to-Double-AMOLED-Displays-Lifetime-145971.shtml
Sure, the color deviations begin a lot sooner, but not under 10, 000 hours in use.
10,000 hours = 400 handheld games with an average playtime of 25 hours... have you ever had a handheld with so many games played through?
