Apple drew first blood with a 960×640 pixels resolution with the “Retina” 326 ppi pixel density debuted with the iPhone 4, only to later be bested by the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (1280×720 pixels and 316 ppi) and the recently announced HTC One X.

The feature allows you to lock down your device so you can securely hand it over to someone to play with, it has its limitations, so be sure to check it out before you put it to use.
