I wonder whether they'll also release a new 'high definition' bottle opener when they release the rest of their barrage of new Apple products. I think I preferred Steve Job's approach, keep 'em guessing and then Wow them with a single great product. Now Apple is going into 'product diversity' releasing a dozen different products, hoping the public will spend money on any one of them, not bothering with trying to make any one product "Great".
If I'm not mistaken (and I very well could be since I can't recall previous resolution numbers), this is also a 'taller' display like in the new iPhone 5.
