I don't. Contrast and colours are more important to me than the biggest pixel count.

I value style and simplicity too. So I value the simplicity of things I need such as tethering, VOIP, and all my existing media files just working out of the box on the competition whereas on an iDevice I have to download additional apps or even root my device and void the warranty. Oh and lets not forget the simplicity of all my existing SIMs just working without having to slice them down or sign up for yet another additional mobile contract..

If I ever run low on space I could delete apps and redownload them later just as easily. But I don't have to because I won't run out of space.

Also the processor is fast enough and powerful enough for what peoplewill use the device for. It will even allow you to edit photos up to 19MP with no issues using the new iPhoto app.

So why are you "impressed" and want to upgrade because of the faster processor, if you're saying it's already good enough? If Apple make a faster device, you want it because you're impressed it's faster. If someone else makes an equally faster device, you rubbish it because your Apple device is already "fast enough". Your logic confounds me.

No, I have a smartphone with a 4.3" screen. If the only thing that made a screen better was it's size, then we should all be buying these:

So instead of using better quality screen technology, they're pushing ridiculous pixel counts... because?

Like I said, I'm more concerned by the quality of the pixels than the number of them.
