I dunno, my Droid 2's screen is 2"x3.25", and it tends to be more useful 
to play videos rotated so it comes out to 3.25"x2".  It's a /little/ 
bigger than one inch.

...but not by terribly much, honestly.

And yet they've squoze 800x480 pixels into that space.  Why, I remember 
when it was normal to do 640x480 on a 9"x12" CRT!  (And 320x200 for games.)
