Second. I was stoked about Retina display, not because it was an actual retina display IMO, but because you didn't have "pixels the size of gorillas," so to speak.
Another way of looking at it is that the new iPad has 2048x1536 on a 10" screen - and yet despite this, even your genetic inferiors can read what's on it...
That's really irrelevant here, the text size didn't change between the old and new iPads, it just got sharper.
