A Metrix developer log sighting reveals what may be a webOS 2.0 device with a 960x640 "Retina" display, according to PreCentral.
It’s happened again folks, another Metrix developer log sighting of the infamous webOS 2.0-running Roadrunner, this time packing an “HD” suffix. What, pray tell, does HD mean in this case? It means an iPhone 4-matching 640x960 resolution, or at least that’s what was reported back to the logs.
This is the second sighting webOS 2.0 in application logs but the first of a device that has a screen resolution of 640 x 960; the same resolution as the iPhone 4’s Retina Display.
HP recently announced that a webOS tablet would arrive in early 2011 but it's unclear when the company will release their first webOS smartphone.

You can't go saying that this is a Retina Display based on resolution alone. Pixel Resolution isn't what makes a 'Retina Display' it's Pixel per Inch. The whole idea being that it 'supposedly' has more pixels per inch than the human eye can see. What if the screen is 9 inches across?
