Assuming I'm understanding Kalle correctly, it seems this could already be accomplished with @media resolution?
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/#resolution @media screen and (min-resolution: 264dpi) { … } Which according to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_displays_by_pixel_density Would match both the new iPad and the iPhone 4. I don't know if webkit supports "resolution" in media queries yet?
