I agree that there are plenty of flash and marketing gimmicks that accompany of the apps' features, but there are good and justified functionalities for the LBS ones, at least.

Please elaborate..
The true physical measurement of the displayed font matters to your eyes. There are comfort limits to which most people are used to and these are used for printing standards. It doesn't matter if your 3.5" screen has a resolution of 1920x1080, you would probably resize your font to a comfortable size anyway (for most purposes).

Apple has been very good in this regard. I'm betting that when the iPhone 4 comes out with 960x480 screen, the physical default font size will not change. They will just be rendered sharper.
