The issue that matters most to me (above Color, above screen size, above roll-up capability) is resolution. Not resolution as in "more pixels on a bigger screen," but rather much higher DPI. I'd like 300 DPI minimum. 600 or 1200 would be better. Is there any prospect of (say) a 6" diagonal 600DPI display? Anywhere on the horizon at all?

This is really a key issue for competing with paper. Ordinary paperbacks are printed between 400 and 600DPI. Quality glossy magazines and textbooks sometimes run up to 3000DPI. When can I have a high-quality display like that?

Ummm... I realize that such a screen would be impossibly expensive at the moment. I guess I really mean to ask: when can we have something like that at prices not TOO much worse than the current batch of displays?
