mikehudack: ericmortensen: Moving above 720p requires additional horsepower.  In Apple’s case, higher resolutions also won’t be viewable on iPod/iPhone/iPad. But this is fine, because the overwhelming majority of Americans don’t have a fast enough pipe to watch proper 1080p video. Your Internet tubes are the same size whether you’re streaming 720p or 1080p.  If it’s not being distributed on a disc or downloaded in full, it’s highly likely that 720p video will actually look better than 1080p. I’ll take more bits per line over more lines any day.
