2.2 inch LCD Display featuring VGA Resolution

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the my-cel-phone-is-still-black-and-white dept.

i4u writes "Casio announces a LCD display with the world's highest resolution. The 2.2 inch LCD display features VGA resolution. The Casio innovation has 368ppi (pixels per inch). The power consumption and size is the same as with current QVGA (320x240) displays. Meaning current mobile phone models could directly be upgraded with a VGA display. So we could very soon see Mobile phones with VGA resolution on 2.2 inch displays. Samsung had the World's highest resolution with 300ppi in early August. Casio took now the lead. More details in Casio Press-Release (Japanese)."

    Make an eye patch out of it that has video of an eye, programmed to follow the motions of your other eye.

    uh, yeah. cause that wouldn't be like, creepy or anything.

    Yeah, i'm sure the one-eyed would get stared at a whole lot less if they had a CREEPY CYBER EYE PATCH looking around at things, moving just a bit slower than the other eye.

    Good idea though.... (?!?)

    when will those graphing calculators be upgraded with displays capable of more than 86x48 resolution (B&W, at that)? I have the impression that HP, Casio and TI are stuck in a time-gap with their graphing calcs.

    Is it just me getting old, or are young people designing things for their age group only without considering those who are older?

    You're getting old. When was the last time you saw any consumer electronics with specific features for the older generations?

    There was a line in Dougals Adam's Salmon of Doubt that I'll have to paraphrase since I don't have the book with me. It was basically this...

    Anything invented while you're under 18 is taken from granted.

    Anything invented while you're between 18-30 is new and exciting.

    Anything invented while you're over 30 is scary and unnatural.

    I forgot my point...so I'll leave it to you to make the connection.
