Just to be clear, my question was not based on any external request.

Re: [OLPC-AU] Retina display
Don't go there. It is hard to talk about the resolution of the PixelQi display. In BW mode, it is 1200 x 900.In color mode, it is something closer to 690 x 520, but the human visual system has much less color resolution anyway so it appears sharper. MLJ did a great job of matching the display to the HVS.
