2048x1536 with GSX543MP4 and Dual Core Cortex A9, not bad. Bit overkill with the resolution but very nice all the same.

Now let’s see what Samsung announce on the 9th, weren’t they rumoured to go with a 2560x1600 display? Seemed ridiculous at the time but not so much now.

Wasn't the rumoured Samsung resolution for a 4" phone though? which would just be utterly pointless.
 
Still not sure which capacity to go for. I've got a 64gb Wi-Fi iPad 2 and I mainly use it for storing movies and TV shows. I generally don't approach full capacity at any time.

Mind you, with 1080p support comes much bigger file sizes and, of course, increased app footprints. Hmmmm, to stick with 64gb or drop to 32gb?
 
Still unsure about what size to get. 16GB WiFi should be enough for me. If I need any music on it I'll just stream it from my PC.

Black or White though, hmmm..

I think 1920*1080 or equivalent would have been enough to be honest

Well I'm surprised Samsung haven't matched the Retina Display by now already, seeing as they make the panels...
