JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

You might want to mention in the OP that there's a 7 inch thrive as well.

If I can get a retina display iPad for $499 soon, then I wasted all my time here. Android phone screens have made good jumps and all, but I don't know when they'll ever compete with that DPI since it requires a somewhat ridiculous resolution standard.

Ipad 3: 2048x1536
8.08" × 6.06" (20.52cm × 15.39cm) = 253.47 PPI

Thrive 7: 1280x800
5.94" × 3.71" (15.08cm × 9.42cm) = 215.63 PPI

Not a huge difference. Now, number of pixels, that's different. I'm pretty happy with my 7 for reading comics, however. Read the entire run of Miracleman on it, and it was fine.
