The iPad did not improve along every axis -- weight did increase (only marginally, actually -- 600g vs. 650g, about two ounces) as resolution doubled. For some preference functions, the utility of the new iPad could be less than the iPad 2.

But I think those people are pretty rare. The new screen is amazing. Even if you don't buy it or even want it, you have to acknowledge that Apple opened up a new part of design space.

resolution quadrupled
Neither is more correct than the other (in this context) without further qualification. He means linear pixel density, you mean area pixel density or total number of pixels (the latter of which isn't a technically valid definition of resolution).
