> Some people mention having original highest-resolution images are important. I don't think that is true for most applications.

It is true for every application when the next generation of displays hits the market. The question is not the long term usability of our current low-res images but just the migration to the next step. At the moment Acorn announces their new APhone and has a million handsets sold by tomorrow, you want your service to deliver at least viewable images. It's not always the app that sets the bar, sometimes it is the device.

Edit: As someone who travels rather remote places of this planet regularly I'm grateful for every app that does not put the burden on the client. My battery packs only last so long.
