[maemo-developers] How to finding out the true DPI of device?

[From: Martin Grimme]

Hi,

the true DPI value depends on the screen hardware and is most likely
not readable anywhere via software. The 770, N800, and N810 (WE) have
a screen with 225 dpi. The upcoming N900 will feature an even higher
value.


Regards,
Martin
