Points vs. pixels

The iPhone 4 introduced a high resolution display with twice the pixels of previous iPhones. however you don't have to modify your code to support high-res displays; the coordinate system goes by points rather than pixels, and the dimensions in points of the screen and all UI elements remain the same.

IOS 4 supports High Resolution displays (like the iPhone 4 display) viaScaleProperty on uiscreen, uiview, uiimage, and calayer classes. if the object is displaying high-res content, its scale property is set to 2.0. Otherwise it defaults to 1.0.

All you need to do to support high-res displays is to provide @ 2x versions of the images in your project. see the checklist for updating to ios4 or apple documentation for supporting high resolution screens for more info.
