3.1 Million Pixels Are Heavy ⇥

Josh Clark:

In bandwidth terms, pixels are heavy, and four times the pixels means four times the image size for bitmap images, give or take. If you want to take advantage of this gorgeous screen, every image you push down the wire is about to put on a ton of weight. That has implications in lots of places.

Since Condé Nast publishes their electronic magazines as essentially an image slideshow, it will be interesting to see how they respond. Huge implications. Via Shawn Blanc.
