1080p has been available for a while now, but you have to look pretty hard to find a display with a 1080p resolution below 40 inches or so.  But Sanyo-Epson has set a new record: how about a screen with a 1080p resolution that's only 7.1 inches?  Sanyo-Epson has announced the first screen of that size with full 1080p support.  Currently, Samsung has the closest competitor, with a 7" screen capable of a measly 854x480 resolution.

Despite such a high resolution, Sanyo-Epson claims the screen has fairly low power consumption, but it remains to be seen whether it's low enough to be used in a portable device that runs on batteries.  And for smaller devices, they've also announced a 2.6" screen with a 1024x768 resolution.  Now that's the screen I want on my iPod.  (And then I want more disk space to copy in whole DVDs.)
