For people with 20/20 vision or better, high resolution screens are a good thing. For the rest of us, anything much over 200 ppi is a waste and actually becomes a negative. Many apps don't take the screen resolution into account when laying out the screen and the fonts are hard to read and selection buttons are to small/close together to tap. High resolution screens also require more cpu and battery power.
I think the 188 ppi of the 8 inch jis ust about right for meand the rest of the specs suit me just fine. The 10.9 ounce weight will probably be enough to get me to buy it.
