My name is Cédric Bozzi, I make apps and websites, and this is my tech blog — you’ll find news commentary here, from a very opinionated Mac-head.

Il y a une version française ici, but most of this blog’s contents are extracted from my Twitter feed, and hence only available in one language (which varies randomly).

“Smartphone Showdown: iPhone 3GS vs Motorola Droid”

I’m linking this just for the close-up shot of the Droid’s screen— it looks like a super-high-quality printout, not a screen. Which is no surprise, because if my calculations are right, that’s a fucking 260dpi you get on that screen.

Whereas the iPhone’s impressive-at-the-time 160dpi was a real advantage when it came to displaying web pages, I can’t imagine how useful 260dpi can really be on a device this size — for it to make a difference on the legibility of small type as compared to the iPhone, the letters would have to be so small that you’d need a magnifying glass to make them out anyway. (Well, that does open up a market for Droid-sized magnifiers like there existed in the GameBoy era.)

But damn, that must look so hot you’ll want to lick it.
