Specs say 216ppi? "7” 1280x800 HD display (216 ppi)" The Retina iPad is 264ppi.
1280x800 on 7" is a very high resolution, it will make everything look tiny. I think what parent was referring to is that the OS doesn't scale the text and UI elements, like the new iPad does. The new iPad has a 2048x1536 screen, but the UI looks like it's 1024x768, it's simply twice as sharp. I have very bad eyesight, looking at the tiny UI in the screenshots on Google's tablet page made me cringe. I wouldn't be abl…
I haven't been following much of android development but is it starting to look like WP7? I only say this because both of the screenshots on the page look very very much inspired by WP7. https://lh3.ggpht.com/3Pu3EHP1QUr9oI-YdIPQE5BxWYVGZ_DzPwhReS... - Metro-esque https://lh4.ggpht.com/p-eZmyce7_T2-_eOwltQxU6glPj6f53kDXvDvN... - Big airy sans, open spaces, riding the line of minimalist, etc.

Yeah, but theirs is unplanned obsolescence.
Hihi, you are funny. You view of the companies clearly colors your view. It’s not really clear that either company plans or does not plan the obsolescence of their devices.
