Thanks for the explanation Mark. The discrepancy in resolution is intensified in the simulator when a bitmap is displayed near text content, which remains sharp at any size. So when one sets the simulator to 100% scale and sees perfectly rendered 2cm text characters drawn alongside a fuzzy mess of a bitmap, I think many would be of the opinion (flawed as it is) that something is amiss. :-)
