Hello,
DPI does indeed stand for Dots Per Inch. In general, images for Web usage are 72 dpi. For magazine print quality, it's usually about 600 dpi. And you can go up from there.
However, there is substantial debate as to how meaningful the numbers are, especially when it comes to camera folks trying to get you to spend more money. See the articles below:

DPI refers to high definition. All TV's will soon be HD. I just bought a new flat screen monitor with DPI software and connectors. ( Acer Ferrari 20" Flat Screen). My new Media Center computer does not have a DPI Port. But like televisions, everything , including computers will soon be High Definition. DPI is a good thing even if you can't use it now. Consider it an investment for the very near future. I have not yet purchased a HD TV because technology is improving so quickly I am simply going to wait another year. DPI for photos is the next step for digital photography. I am almost ready. Once the HD computers are on the market, (I prefer HPshopping), I will buy a new media center computer, SLR digital camera, and the best photo-editing software.
GO PHOTOS!!

It means "dots per inch." It's a measure of picture resolution. How many dots of ink are in a linear inch or 2.54 cm. Generally used to measure printer resolution, the higher the dpi, the better the quality of the picture.

Dots per inch. The more dots per inch the better quality photo you get. It matters in file size, picture resolution and print quality.
