ppi is not a necessarily a good comparator in itself

a 1 inch 800x480 screen has an extremely high ppi but is of little use(for a mobile device anyway)

something like the ipad has a 10 inch screen with 1024x768 with a comparatively low ppi, but is quite useful to many nonetheless.

throwaway the ppi

True, it needs context

So PPI is a useful discriminator in context.

yes, only in the context of similar sceen size and human readability, IMO.

I'm not extremly keen about a high resolution, the N900 is fine for me. But hey, where would we be if we didn't improve our technics?
I remeber in the article aubout the N8's camera they said, they put a 12MP instead of 8MP camera because they wanted to take a step foreward. Thats what I like. If we can do it, why don't we just do it?

Yeah... ultra high ppi doesn't magically enhance your eyesight so you can read small prints from few feet away.. but it does render the detail there for the occasional time you want to eyeball something rather than zoom it close.

Well that brings another point... a quick and intuitive document manipulation system (multitouch gestures, etc) works wonder to lessen the limitations of small screens\low ppi.

High MP on a handheld (limited screen size, processing power, throughput, storage, etc) may become a burden then an advantage...

It may take longer to process, slower to store, slower to share, eats more of your limited storage, etc... to what cause? So you can make larger prints from your pictures?

But still, if we want our phone cameras to replace the digicam someday, at least 12 MP is needed. Of course other things like better objective is more important. We have yet not by far reached the top, not in Megapixels, nor in dpi. Phones and connections will get faster, storage space will grow.

how many 68x50cm photos or quad-hd-tvs you have?

e: not even speaking about how possible it is to manufacture a lens that can draw something useful to 12mpix sensor that is smaller than your nail. (compare it to film negative or similar....)

Im more than happy with 5MP camera in my mobile phone, that's the sweet spot for me. What I would like however is better and faster image processing.

The 4 row keyboard would be nice though, Im fed up with this blue arrow...

You could at least have the decency to admit it was intentional.
