Thanks, Chris. I know you can't copy photos from Photo Stream to Camera Roll at full res but I wasn't sure if they weren't actually saved at full res originally.Photo stream doesn't allow for full resolution.

How DUMB is that?!?! Hopefully Apple will fix this with the iPhone 5... They're a brilliant company but at times some of their choices are just DUMB.Thanks, Chris.

So with Dropbox pics are saved at full res, right?

Brilliant, Chris. Thanks for clearing that up. I can confirm that Photo Stream does seem to save full res images to my PC.Here's the official answer.
On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices.
