I think you will find 1080i is also 1920 x 1080.
The real difference is interlaced (i) and progressive (p) scans. See the wikipedia link so generously provided by envybianchi above.

''Progressive or noninterlaced scanning is a method for displaying, storing or transmitting moving images in which all the lines of each frame are drawn in sequence. This is in contrast to the interlacing used in traditional television systems where only the odd lines,'' from wikipedia



that means that interlaced is lower resoluion :p

No, it doesn't. Progressive- The entire screen is refreshed. Interlaced- only half of the screen is refreshed at a time. It's the same physical pixels, just a lower effective refresh rate. Wikipedia generally isn't the most reliable source, and taking segments of sentences and interpreting them as complete thoughts is even less reliable.
