Or what I've been running into with Linux on a 120-DPI laptop screen- software designers who think that the screen DPI is fixed at 96 and have important buttons and controls that are based on a number of pixels of width instead of a percentage of the screen or window.

So when you get that new 444-DPI screen, you suddenly discover that everything is a quarter of the size you expected, but since its capacitive you're still restricted to about a half- inch square worth of accuracy.
