That media query is mostly (only ?) useful to do something with images, when the screen density/resolution is very high, such as the iPhone4 and iPod Touch (retina display), but there is no reason why it couldn't be useful for e.g. laptops with high-res screens (think MacBook Air). For more general conditional targetting of high-res devices the resolution / min-resolution is probably more interesting WebKit note: http://webkit.org/blog/55/high-dpi-web-sites/ (scroll down to the 'Conditional Inclusion' header) Gecko doc: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/CSS/Media_queries#section_29 (iirc, it has been mentioned a couple of times on www-style, in the context of an eventual 'Media Queries 2' doc.)
