iPad: 132 ppi; iPhone 4: 326.

Resolution on an LCD seems to be quite important. SAMOLED screens on 1st-gen Galaxy S phones were gorgeous, and their blacks were perfect for watching documentaries about bioluminescent fish. But when I switch back and forth from a Nexus S to an iPhone 4, I find reading far less fatiguing on the latter.

And that's coming from someone who will likely never buy an iPhone.

The first company that makes a tablet with good specs, a great screen and a resolution of 320 ppi or higher will probably have my money as long as they don't ask for too much of it.
I agree. When the iPad comes with a high resolution screen, hopefully other tablets will follow. I need a tablet for reading pdf documents for work but I'm holding out for something with a better screen.
