Actually, there are other devices, like the Openmoko Neo 1973 and Neo Freerunner, which have much higher DPI screens. The iPhone has a resolution of 480x320, at 3.5", for 160dpi; the Neos have a 2.8" 640x480 resolution screen, at 280dpi. It's really nice to look at and read text on. :)
Wow thats incredible. I haven't seen a Neo in the flesh, I would love to get one of they work here in Australia.
I have an older iphone, I find its quite easy to read at that DPI, but the Neo DPI could be much better (I hear the kindle looks like reading paper, need to check that out, once again, we probably can't use it here yet !).
It sucks being in the "ass end" of the world sometimes.
That's awesome - I don't think I've ever seen a display that close to print quality. Its a pity the styling and software don't seem very consumer friendly.
It also makes sense with their view on antialiasing fonts (eg look at iphone DPI, it is close to print DPI).
