They'll probably appear pixel-free when balanced on your nose!

like er glasses do? I'm all for great ppi and resolution, but you'll need extra grunt to power it and battery life is the biggest issue for most smartphones already...

Sharp makes displays for iPhone 5, no? First (EDIT: not Fist, no pun intended here, thanks 3dcandy & jimbouk) hints on iNote in the works?... Hilarity ensues...

[3dcandy]

Fist hints? Am I missing something howdee?

[jimbouk]

An 'r' possibly...

Is it just me or are those images really low res and taken with a crappy camera/phone?

Any body else feel 5 inch screens are too big for a phone but to small for anything else?

This size would be just about right for in-car (plane, bus,... or any other passenger vehicles) entertainment systems built into seats ans such, and/or dashboard navigation gadgetry. Buy yes, I agree it's too big for a phone and too small for a tablet, if that's what you were thinking of? I wouldn't mind one on a smart remote control device for my entertainment center either (I feel 7" and larger tablets are too big for that and smartphones too small)...
