No, the iPod touch does not have an IPS display - that's exclusive to the iPhone and iPad. The iPod touch has a plain LCD for cost reasons, IPS displays are expensive. It is just an LCD with he same resolution as the iPhone's IPS display.Bush wrote:It will probably have the standard 800x400 OLED most phones have. Jdmlight, the ipod touch uses an IPS, which is different from OLED. I think IPS makes it easier to cram more pixels into a given space. And the word HD has become a marketing term, really. IMO we should call resolutions by their dimensions or standard name, not just slap HD on everything. Technically speaking, 480p could be HD, as it is sharper than regular 480i. HD also gets unclear when talking about small displays; as theyre all going to be less than 720p (the "official" minimum resolution that can be stamped as HD) but will have higher pixel density at a small size than the same res on a TV or monitor. I think we need to reevaluate the HD terminology as a whole.
Also, most of the high-rez Android phones are still using regular LCDs, not OLED.
HD as a marketing buzzword drives me nuts - it's not HD if it isn't at least 1280x720.
What I meant by my post was that if they were to have a screen a bit bigger than the iPod touch's (say 4" instead of the iPod's 3.5) but at the same pixel density, it would be at or just over 1280x720, therefore it would legitimately be able to be called HD.
