A 458 dpi color display

I'm no fan of backlit LCDs for reading, but I'd love to have a look at one of these:

Sweet. I'd like a little portable Blue-Ray player with one of those!

I very much suspect that it won't look visually very much different to the iPhone 4. Once the pixel density is so high that you can't see the pixels with the naked eye (as they are on the iPhone), a 50% further density increase probably isn't going to result in any noticeable difference to the image quality.

But even though image on the display might not be "sharper" to the human eye in terms of resolution, that level of density should increase the color rendering and effective dynamic range of the panels thanks to the ability to do more "color mixing". So the net effect should be what appears to be a more natural analog-like image on the panels. This would likely not matter too much for typefaces but for image rendering it's HUGE.

Of course unless the panels are properly color calibrated the advantage could be rendered pointless.
