Oh wow, don't know how that happened. I'll fix the link.
[edit] The original link has been fixed and here is another one:

K, my question. Battery life? How will they use that many pixels without burning out the battery in a single hour? CPU/GPU power for that...
I guess it works for a couple of hours if all you are doing is surfing online and so on.

They also said that it would require 2 backlights (instead of 1) and be thinner.
Freedom Kira:
Can someone please explain why it is beneficial to have such a resolution on a screen under 8 inches? Either I'm missing something here, or that is the most pointless thing ever in the history of computing.

It's Apple, they'd make you buy a pair of shoes just to go with any of their products if they wanted to.
On a more serious note, it's a selling point. Higher resolution, beats the competition, no one cares about the actual use of it but the numbers are definitely bigger than the competition. The average consumer will always be hooked by bigger numbers.
