With today's cheap tablet market, one still pay $25 - $50 more for this so called HD resolution. And on a 7inch tablet, it is like pepsi vs coke. I rather keep my $ in my pocket. Not worth it. Dont believe everything you read on the internet. I, for one, will ignore this HD specification on a 7 in tablet.

I am not saying anything about 10in tablet. For one, I aint got any... yet

I can't fault you for your opinions, as I'm not there.
But I see a large difference between 480p and 600p on a 7" device.

Hell, I noticed the jagged effect of PenTile on the SGS when people denied it (until Retina Display arrived then suddenly everyone noticed it too). I still barely notice PenTile jaggedness on my NOTE (800p on 5.3in) from a normal distance, but only if I go looking for it.

480p (WVGA) on a 7in device is okay...for a digital photo-frame.
For anyone serious to use the tablet, I think 600p should be a minimum requirement. In most cases, you're paying an extra $15-25 (not $50) to upgrade to a 600p screen...the thing you're going to be interacting 90% of the time. And the OEM usually adds other things to sweeten the value like: wifi N, double (1GB) RAM, upgraded (2MP) camera, and even a newer processor (AML-M6 > A10).

So, yes it is absolutely worthwhile (necessary imho) investment to go from 480p->600p when looking for a budget tablet.

Craplet =/= Digital Photo frame.

P.S. I'm thinking of putting anal on two elf with 7inches. I'll pick one up. Modify the crap out of it. And gift it for friends. I have no need for tablets because of SGNote.
