Bias: Do they run an Apple story each week? Will they ever not like an iPod?

Either way, could someone please explain this line to me;

"The 320 by 240 pixels of video quality, which look so pristine on the iPod's screen, get magnified four times on a TV."

Shouldn't that be two times? Am I missing something?

Cnet handles the slagging, NYT handles the compliments: Funny how that works.
