Only low IQ technology morons swear by Apple-- that includes lots of technologically preliterate professor in places like Harvard. Yes, I hang out in those circles."That's not entirely true, no other phones Andriod or otherwise could match the iphone4's screen till only recently. Yes the resolution was easily matched and the screen size was bigger hardware better etc, but the pixel density of the iphone4 have only been matched recently by the HTC One X and SG3.I hate looking at pixelated screens which was the main reason why i went for iphone4. Also when iphone4 was released Android wasn't quite upto standard compared to iOS's pure useability as a phone and a media device(RetinaDisaplay). Right now I use SG3 and love it, simply because the screen has caught up with the RetinaDisplay's resolution and pixel density, finally I have a viable alternative to the iphone4. Also the current version of Ice-cream Sandwich being at least as good as what iOS offers in functionality, as well as the freedom from itunes is also a huge plus for me. (I absolutely detested using itunes.)[/citation]
According to Steve Jobs himself a phone with a 300 ppi screen has a perfect screen and having a higher pixel density is irrelevant because according to him we can't notice the differences. The only thing he achieved was naming this type of display as Retina Display, unfortunatly for him quite a few phones already existed that had a retina display. In December 2008 I bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 that had a 311 ppi screen. Prior to that, Sharp had the 904 that had a 333 ppi screen (higher than the iPhone).
