Two pixels not one. The question is if you can tell there are two pixels (0.0031 x 2 = 0.0062 inches) on the screen or they appear as one.

I had this also experience, Ed, and also did the battery alternative. Worked for a although, but eventually had the same problem. I’m sure each successive generation is best, but now I’m pissed off! So I moved to a Nomad + Aol Music and I’ve been happy thus far. Ethyl Kirkness

I notice that my angualr size calculator is being referenced here.
Well, the correct address is http://www.1728.org/angsize.htm
Why was this address change necessary?
In mid-May the domain name 1728.com was stolen from me.

An excellent combination of physics and common sense to debunk a marketing claim, very interesting stuff!

I’m about to get myself a new iPhone 4 (upgrade from my expired contract 3GS) and I’ve just come across this article – given, a bit late – but it’s great to see that everything published in advertisments isn’t just taken for a given nower-days!

You are wrong, Jobs has perfect vision. His glasses are just there for esthetics’s reasons. He is perfect in all aspects.

Wow, you wrote this whole article just so you could find a way to prove what Steve Jobs said wasn’t completely wrong (even though you acknowledge, if your own way, that he was actually incorrect).

Interesting.

[...] ただもっと大事なのは、新iPadのスクリーンは260dpiあればRetinaディスプレイになれるのです。「Retinaディスプレイ」というのはアップルのマーケティング用語ですが、その名前の由来は「Retina（網膜）がピクセルを見分けられない」ということです。目から12インチ（30.5cm）くらいしか離さないで見るスクリーンでは、それは300dpi強になり、iPhone 4は326dpiです。でも、DISCOVER誌でライターのフィル・プレイト氏が行った、iPhone 4が本当にRetinaディスプレイかどうかの判定のための計算式を使うと、iPadを18～24インチ（45.7～61.0cm）くらい離して見るなら、260dpiでRetinaディスプレイと呼んでいいことになります。 [...]
