The Reader

I tend to agree Otto - as I have mentioned enough to make everyone groan, I
also have an HTC Incredible with a similar screen size, AMOLED screen vs
iPhone's LCD and higher resolution and for reading nearly anything more than
a few lines I much prefer the iPhone. When it was 'leaked' that the iPhone
would be sticking with an LCD screen I couldn't have been happier, the
AMOLED is gorgeous and vibrant inside or in a light controlled environment
but outside is impossible to see let alone use, is very fragile, etc.

My HOPE is that you will be able to select the resolution of the iPhone or
that it will intelligently use higher resolution for video, photo, etc and
lower resolution/etc but text, email, web, etc
