The average human eye does not have the resolving power to take full advantage of the iPhone4 display. The application for UHD would necessarily be similar to IMAX, where the eye can roam around the image. Film IMAX is equivalent to UHD, about 7,000 pixels horizontal at 48fps, which is eqiivalent to about 60p digital.

So I think that this is a limited market, just as IMAX is/was. We'll be wearing HD glasses a decade before we'll be watching UHD.

Back thirty years ago, I was an audiophile, and we were all in this pissing match on who had the best THD (Total Harmonic distortion). Finally realized that once you got to a certain level the ear couldn’t discern the difference. Looks like the same kind of deal.
