So true…I can see it already – Twice the pixels and 'space'? Jam more info! Display more content! More buttons/menus!

People have to remind themselves the physical space is still the same – imagine pushing a button that will be halved in size on the new iPad, that's not how you're supposed to do it. But that will be the conception in people's minds once they visit web sites not optimized for the new iPad.

"This article is infuriating, having a retina display is not an excuse to cram more information onto the screen, its to make the same amount of information look much clearer."

The article doesn't suggest otherwise. In fact, it makes that point exactly.

Everything else seems correct, though. There will be more detail in same sized images, and 720p movies will take up much less space.
