One thing I have never really got with most of these screens is what is the big deal with the ever higher resolution on these relatively small screens, it seems like a waste of battery life for nominal gain since there are limits to the size people will want things like text anyway.

As someone that has had both low and medium res smartphone screens, I can definitively say there's a world of difference, it's much more significant than one would guess until having used each for a while. And while there may be different power consumptions between different technologies, for a given technology, there's probably not a huge difference in power for different pixel counts, probably more a function of screen size and output brightness.
