I asked for example where people have stated that 720p is better than 1080p
Actually, in post 83, it was me asking you to provide an example where I said that 720p is crap. You didn't do that... because I made no such post. Instead of doing that, you try to flip it with...
Sure, as soon as you show me where anyone has argued that "720p is better than 1080p"...
...to which I pointed to some examples within this very thread, which seems to be conveniently ignored.
I also think is not unreasonable for a company to design something with most people in mind...
This is easy to agree upon. However, the implication you seem to be making is that "most people" are fine with 720p. In reality, "most people" buying an HDTV in the last few years have probably bought one that is 1080p; are there even 720p HDTVs still available (other than maybe kitchen-sized screen)? "Most people" that bought an HD Camcorder in the last year have probably bought one that is 1080p, not 720p (are there many 720p-capped camcorders still available?). "Most people" have bought a BD player instead of an

If the "most people" to which you refer are


And again, note that Apple themselves have embraced 1080p in the iPhone 4s. So if they are building hardware for these "most people" and "most people" want 720p, why make that (apparent) mistake(?) with the iPhone?
But even all that said: a 1080p


Feel as you wish about this topic as I will too. In the end, a 1080p

As an Apple shareholder, I'd like Apple to sell more of these. I'd like this to rise out of "hobby" status and run with the other "legs of the table". I'd like Apple to reach brand new customers who haven't bought something from Apple before. Look how well little devices like iPods, iPhones, iPads have brought in new buyers- some of which then get into Apple enough to pay up for Macs and other Apple hardware. As an Apple consumer, I'd like to buy 3 more

IMO, 720p may have been good enough (**FOR ME**) in 2007 when I bought my first
