I have done a bit.  I guess it's individual.  I scanned a 
newspaper article from the contra costa times, a table from PC 
magazine, and an article from people magazine all in 300 and 
600 dpi.  I got 5-6 errors/article with 300 dpi and only 1 
error in 3 articles with 600dpi.  This was hardly a controlled 
clinical trial, but whatever.  I already have the 3c and am not 
going to kick my butt trying to prove to myself that I dont' 
need it ;^)
