It's a nice distinction when you consider that Samsung often
makes Apple's screens.
However, reporting beginning on December 9 of last year suggests that Samsung is not simply concerned with contrast/richness now, as they seemed to be when I bought my Galaxy S. They've supposedly been on the verge of releasing an HD tablet with resolution comparable to or better than the iPad not-3. There might even be a legal or marketing reason Samsung hasn't done so yet.
The difference between ppi on the Galaxy Nexus and the iPhone 4 is exactly 11 in the iP4's favor (315 ppi vs. 326). And the GN is now long in the baby tooth by our ridiculous standards.
Edit: On the other hand,
the GN's technical ppi count might be misleading.
