[QUOTE="fleurya, post: 991611, member: 22866"] Hmm, I just thought it was the same at the iPhone and Touch, which are definitely not 4:3, but not quite 16:9 either. 16:10 maybe? When I look at press shots it definitely looks wider than my 4:3 laptop screen (work laptop). You can definitely do the double-tap to auto zoom and fill the screen with a video. That's on the iPhone/Touch and I'm pretty positive Jobs did it in the keynote. I'm not too concerned about it not being 16:9 though. As someone said, most widescreen movies have a ratio wider than that anyway, so you'll always have letterbox or have to zoom to fill. Also, videos are only a small part of it's usability and most other functions appear better in the existing reatio, at least to me. [/QUOTE]
