Importance of resolution is partly the product of viewing distance. A 1080p HDTV has MUCH lower pixel density than a 22" 1080p monitor that is sitting on your desktop, but its fine because you are viewing it from eight feet away instead of two feet away. Both appear apparently the same from their practical viewing distances.

The same logic applies to something like a phone or a tablet. A phone is being held closer to your face than a tablet, hence the need for higher DPI. "Retina" is a marketing term for when you cannot discern pixels from one another, that's all. It is why a phone has higher pixel density than a tablet, which has higher pixel density than a newer 15" rMBP. Viewing distance is an integral part of the equation.

I expect more knowledge from people on a supposed "techie" site. I'm pretty surprised looking at all the responses here.
