No secret.
When I saw it, I thought "Oh, they're going back to a 4:3 screen. How nice."
Widescreen displays make it easy for panel manufacturers to skimp on resolution while keeping the same diagonal size.

In my family room I've got a limited amount of horizontal space (barring replace a $1500 piece of furniture as well). Switching to HD will really just mean that I have a smaller picture, because with a fixed horizontal measurement I can only make the vertical measurement smaller to fit the aspect ratio.
I considered writing on of which resolution is better for the device, but I figure I'll leave that up to the test of time. I do think 4:3 is a great way to launch it.
