The each pixel will have no space between itself and the next pixel.
all kidding aside, the current phone has 163 ppi this is double at a littl ebit bigger screen so about 300ppi? Basically like a printed sheet.
Got a tip for us?

This is all well as I'm eligible for upgrade on my iPhone in May. But I feel it's still a little early to be thinking about the new iPhone. Lets get the iPad and new Mac Pros and Macbooks out first.
Oh, HELL yes. Finally a little something that's a tiny bit more "concrete" to speculate about. I'm really excited about this.
Maybe Apple is just going to implement resolution independence. Things won't look smaller compared to the current iPhones, but far, far sharper looking.
330 DPI. Yikes, that is gonna like laser printing rendered on screen.

I've thought for a long time this was going to be called the iPhone HD. I always took the HD for recording 720p video.

You guys are seriously excited by this? I have this small screen and now I'm going to get HD on it?? So, Apple is trying to catch up with the Zune now?
Other than that, there's the front-facing camera.
Someone explain why this will be a big deal (A+)? I don't get it. Since nothing was mentioned about the battery, I can't wait for the new battery threads.
SSDD for Apple.
Edit: Oh, and backgrounding will be nice, but you know it'll be nothing like what you have jailbroken. I'm thinking it'll be crippled in some way.

True, the HD moniker doesnt just relate to TV. It could also be used on phones where HD means 960x640.
By the by I dont see the point in cramming that amount of pixelageTM in such a tiny screen. Its bordering on being pointless as we will probably not be able to see the full benefit.
Maybe 960x640 is ok but anything higher in such a small screen would be pointless.
Does anyone "seriously" care about the quality of video on a phone screen?
I much rather iPhone implement a projector into the hardware with HD content!

I do, mainly because my iPhone is my primary iPod as well. Why not have the images on-screen look as good as they possibly can?
There have been reports of improved battery life, and I'm sure that, among many other things will be included in the next iPhone. Plus, a new design, I'm sure. What's not to get excited about?
Wow! 960x640? thats amazing
Looks no different than a regular picture. How are geeks able to tell the difference?
Most can't tell the difference between 1080 and 720 on a 48inch screen. How many can notice the difference on a 3.5 inch screen between HD and non-HD?
Technology needs to be invested elsewhere, or it'll simply be a wasted add-on with added cost that most consumers won't find justifiable.
The point of adding resolution like this on such a small screen is not about being able to show higher resolution movies, it's about making everything crisper and easier to see and read. On the current iPhones, as text shrinks, it becomes impossible to read because the resolution of the screen is too low. The iPhone's screen is currently lagging behind the latest generations of Android devices, and it needs to catch up. On the Droid, for example, I can read much more of the NY Times home page without scrolling or zooming than is possible on my iPhone. If the resolution was this high, I'd be ecstatic.
I'm going only by what is in the OP.There have been reports of improved battery life, and I'm sure that, among many other things will be included in the next iPhone. Plus, a new design, I'm sure. What's not to get excited about?
so what exactly do you want? and why are you just assuming multitasking will be worse than jailbroken multitasking? Apple's CC&P was better than anything anyone else had done.
