Okay, so ive read about the X1 a fair bit, and watched the webcast, and im left with a horrible feeling that the whole device is built around a theory that isnt particularly good.
Panels...is it just me, or do we not actually need these 'panels', i meen, great, we can have fish swimming around the 'desktop' sometimes, and other times we can have the media player....big woop...to change panels requires pressing 2 buttons,...think about a normal phone, we can press the menu button, then the media player button, and there you go, the media player is open.
Im sorry if you guys think this panel thing is great, but as it stands, it seems that the whole idea which this phone is built around is just a bit of a gimmick...we don't need 9 friggin desktops! its just like the bloody menu on any other SE phone.
Anyone else feel the same at all?
I think that the Panel concept will allow for convenience. Seeing how, you can customize your panels to fit your needs.
Why have to go into the menu screen, when the panel that you're looking for is right in front of you.
Also, there's eight other panels that you can go through as well.
Some people might need nine panels?
Facebook, Google, Fish, Media Player, Opera Mobile, umm.. ok fine, I think nine is a lot but you'll never know, you might need more than nine panels haha.
To me, it's just convenience that it's right in front of me.

I agree, and I think the media panel was used just as an example to show how panels work and what they are. You don't have to use that panel or anything! Switch it out and use one you wanna use!

Given pinguino2’s post on 2008-09-08, display resolutions and diagonals: HTC Touch HD 800x480 and 3.8 in, Xperia X1 800x480 and 3.0 in, HTC Touch Pro 640x480 and 2.8 in., the screen densities (pixels/sq in) are as follows: 60,277; 96,711; 81,633.
Is one entitled to assume that Xperia X1 has the best sharpness of text and graphics and HTC Touch Pro is more readable than HTC Touch HD?
@pinguino2 please comment.
Thanks for your time.

When you deal wth different screen sizes and number of pixels. it's like comparing oranges and apples. So the realistic measure is per square inch regardless of the screen size. The higher the better the readability, and the graphic detail. With Low res smaller fonts are not easy to read.
For instance. a complex drawing of 1 Sq inch "painted" with 96898 pixels vs the same painted with 26995 it is a dramatic difference.
...............sq in.... H pix...... W pix......Tot pix... pix/sq in
Xperia.......3.96.....800....... 480........384000... 96898
Touch Pro..3.76.... 680........480........326400... 86735
Touch HD...6.38....800........480........384000... 60202
Bold..........3.11.... 480........320........153600... 49383
iPhone.......5.69.... 480........320........153600... 26995
Instict.......4.11.... 432........240........103680... 25235
Omnia........4.53....400........240........96000.... 21206

Yes, the panels are a gimmick.
Yes, the panels are useful.
The benefit of the panels is in their practicality, not because of some technical wizardry. Nine of them run simultaneously (giving visual updates). They also provide a means of not bumping into the typical WM interface (unless that panel does so)--you go from program to program in two presses. It's
's way of making WM mainstream friendly.
Think of them in terms of everyday use--not in terms of expecting technical magic.
@pinguino:
If you have a 17" screen @ 96000 ppi vs a 1" screen @ 96000 ppi--the 1" screen will appear to be sharper and detailed but the 17" screen will have better readability (all else being equal)

If you look at ONE SQUARE INCH they are the same. However in real life a 17" screen with 96000 pixel per sq inch doesn't not exist yet. Big screen resolutions are ridiculous LOW compared to mobiles. the number of pixel per sq inch is like 4 - 6000 compared with 96000 in the mobile
We getting now into other concepts like distance and size. I have another post comparing 32" 60" and 3" screens. I will look for it.

Regarding screen resolution - if the pixel size drops below 0.1mm it can't be seen by a human (unless a magnification device is used). Now that's the theory - in practice very few people manage to see a 0.1 mm dot, with ,25mm been a more general limit ! And of course, we are talking about a bright dot on a dark back ground or vice versa. Throu color in and depending no the color shades, the above dot size goes up even more

You guys are getting deeper and deeper.
There are many factor in he quality of a display. We can write a book about this. Let me mention a few, pixels, pixels size, screen size, distance, luminosity, brightness, contrast. physical quality of the screen, color, color bit depth. and the most important factor YOU, because despite of all the tech things your appreciation is subjective. (don't forget your glasses)
Let me try to make a general statement. (if I can)
Given everything equal the higher the resolution per sq area the best graphic quality.
If the resolution is the same ie: 800x480 but the size is diff 3" Xperia vs 3.8" HD then Xperia will LOOK sharper. AND assuming the exact amount of info on both screens then Xperia will look sharper and the HD will have the BIGGER bigger but a bit blurr.
The limt for the human eye per sq inch if about 100000. Again there are many factors assuming perfect conditions, lighting, contrast, color, etc The most important one is DISTANCE. you can see the pixels at 8" but not at 10 yards Large TV have HUGE pixels you might be able to see them at certain distance.
But the TRUTH and absolute THRUTH about how good is a display is only when YOU LOOK AT IT and say WOW You don't need all this theory to say WOW.

Have you guys seen the iphone? 3.5inch screen on a near QVGA res. The screen is PERFECT. There is absolutely no pixelation what so ever. Compared to nokia N95 8GB with a much smaller screen with the same res. The pixels are quite visible. This shows there's more to just screen size and screen res.

Now let join the Touch HD thread.
By looking at the specs. I think except for the screen there is nothing new that others phones don't have. But this phone put them ALL together. So at the moment it's the most complete phone there is.
Having said that I don't think this is the phone for my needs or my likes because I need a real keyboard and the form factor is getting beyond the limits of practicality. my pockets aren't that big. It will be a bit uncomfortable in a women's hands. It may look like a book on your ears.
.
But this is just me. I love that screen but I'm practical.

You are right. As I explained above there are many factors. The iphone, despite of the POOR ratio RES/SIZE the screen looks very good (not excellent) is the 16 million colors with good contrast ratio vs all the WM pones of only 65000 colors max
