I recently had this question posed to me by an individual who was getting a Top Notch Tablets rom from the site and they noted it was "rooted".

I have seen a lot of posts about "rooting" (aka "jail breaking" in the Apple world...) and "root" access and "super user" that were highly erroneous. People tend to think that rooting is some mystical/magical thing on a device when it is nothing of the sort, but rather a regular function that is part of the Linux underpinnings of android.

The Apple iPad 3rd and 4th generation have a 9.7" 4:3 Panel with a (ludicrous...) display resolution of 2048x1536. This equates to a PPI (pixels-per-inch) rating of about 264. The term that Apple has coined for this magic number is "retina". In short, the idea is that if the screen is at such a distance from your face (2 ft ?) the human eye cannot see the individual pixels because there are so many of them crammed into such a small space that they end up being minuscule and all just blend together to make an excellent image.
