But if you watch something else than test charts, difference won't be visible. In normal use, more pixels would be better so I would take 1024x600 over 950x540 any day.

Productivity apps, Content creation, Business apps. Those are also apps that are suitable to be implemented with a 'more accurate' (smaller contact area) resistive screen with a stylus.

And while Nokia may be planning to follow Apple's ipad footsteps (format-wise), now there are rumours that Apple may be planning to "invent" portable or pocketable 5-7" tablets next!
Digitimes/Liliputing:: Apple may be working on a smaller iPad
Thinking about picking up an iPad, but put off by its 1.5 pound weight and large 9.7 inch display? It looks like you might have a chance soon. DigiTimes reports that Apple may be working on a 5 to 7 inch model that will cost around $400 or less.
One of the biggest complaints I’ve heard over the last few days is that at 1.5 pounds, the iPad is a bit heavy to hold in your hands for an extended period. Sure, 1.5 pounds is light be netbook standards, with most mini-laptops weighing 2.4 pounds or more. But the difference is that netbooks are designed to be placed on a lap, desk, or table. The iPad works best while you’re holding it. [..]

That's why it will be interesting to see if the technology media takes the bite and starts believing in the pocketable tablet format...
Consumers really are suckers for media-massaged perceptions.
Of course none of that means that Nokia would be on the ball ready to capitalize (pardon the verb) on pocketable tablets despite having actually created the market.
