Windows Phone Thoughts: "Sharp Unveils Prototype 300 PPI VGA Display" - MobileMag

"According to EE Times, Sharp Electronics Japan has plans to meet consumers demands for next-generation mobile phones. Sharp has demonstrated a prototype of a 2.6-inch CG silicon panel with VGA resolution, or 300 pixels per inch resolution."

Hmm. 2.6 inch VGA screens. Now put that together with the recent news that Windows Mobile 2004 will support VGA resolution, and that earlier this year Microsoft relaxed OEM design restrictions and will allow smaller screens, down to either 2.6" or 2.8" (I can't seem to find the reference). It's important to understand what 300 ppi means - we're talking a display that is getting close to paper in terms of readability. Onward technology, onward!
