I honestly don't know. This physical resolution is basically the same as the (smaller) display on the iPhone 4. And while I don't use one daily, I honestly can't tell the difference between that and the 30% larger pixels on my Galaxy S. I think we're well beyond the point of diminishing returns.
I guess the iPhone resolution could be justified as an integer multiple of the original screen dimensions. And this one matches existing HD video streams, so it makes sense there. But in terms of raw pixels, I think only eagle-eyed teenagers are likely to see any usable benefit from these numbers.
