  "Touting increases in DPI as game changing couldn't be farther from the truth." I think that remains to be seen. If the existence of this laptop in the market drives consumers to seek out laptops with this resolution display, and other laptop makers are required to offer laptops of similar resolution, and web developers convert their graphics to work well with "Retina" resolutions ... then you could make the case that it's game-changing. But it will be awhile before that's known.

  One of my first thoughts after hearing the original iPhone announcement was "what a low resolution screen". After all, the Nokia 770, released a couple of years before the iPhone, had an 800x480 screen. Most full websites back then were usable on an 800 pixel screen. Because it had a low-res screen, the iPhone required mobile versions, which I thought would doom it due to the chicken and egg problem. Remember, back then the iPhone didn't allow third party apps, the "blessed" way of adding capability to your iPhone was through web sites. Who would buy an iPhone if it didn't have any apps or mobile web sites? Who would mobile web sites if nobody bought an iPhone? Apparently, I was wrong.
