Take a look at the photo vs. the debugger snapshot of the "3G" text. The uprights in the G are 3 pixels wide, and display as one of either:
BB G RR G BB G
RR G BB G RR G
Thus the point of the article: A "pixel" is either "BB G" or "RR G". There are 800x480 of these. But neither of them is "a pixel" (RBG) like we're used to talking about, it's less than that. There's one (small) green and one (bigger) red OR blue in each pixel.
I had a Nokia N810, with an 800x480 LCD of approximately this size. It was gorgeous. I was expecting something similar, but got this, with my N1. The screen is, easily, the most disappointing part of the N1 in my opinion. The enhanced contrast of the AMOLED doesn't come close to making up for the jagginess of the uneven pixels. Vertical, and especially diagonal, lines just look horrible.
