DPI is a pointless term in comparing different medium. One of the comments mentions Dots per Radian of viewing angle which I think makes much more sense. Don't need/want my TV to have 300DPI, but 30 DPI would actually be pretty awesome the

Interesting tidbit. Gizmodo didn't buy the device, only paid for exclusivity. Don't want to be a couch lawyer like so many others but wondering if that is meaningful to the possible case against them.
