I like how you call it a "retina display" yet also make a disclaimer at the end of the article saying its not... My thoughts: if an iphone has retina (*human eye cant see pixels within a foot) than I think its safe to call 260ppi a retina display since holding the ipad a foot close to your face is ridiculous.

Most will hold an iPad about 2 feet away. At THAT distance you wont distinguish a pixel. So call it a retina display, after all, apple did make up the word I think that entitles them to make up the definition

I agree, tablets are held at around 1.5'-2' away from the user, while phones are held around 10"-12" from the user. So I think it's safe to call any tablet screen with a 240PPI or higher density a Retina display. Besides, for it to have the exact same PPI as the iPhone 4/4S, it would need a screen res of 2560X1920 which would be the next step up in 4:3 display and would also be friggin expensive/unnecessary.
