I don't fall for the conspiracy theory side of it. If Samsung, or Apple, could develop the technology and gain an advantage over their competitor, they would. That is a healthy rivalry, not a collusion.
In the meantime, however, the average pundit does not appreciate that the eye can't resolve super HD resolution on a small screen. I know so many photographers that look an an image on a 2 or 3" LCD screen on the back of their camera without zooming in, and then declare that the image is sharp! Because of this people think more pixels is better, therefore I will buy this...
Market pressure is what's driving the ridiculous resolutions on small screens. Market pressure that knows what it wants but not what it needs.
