Agree.. photos in general (and videos, and even audio) always look as good when scaled down proportionately. At least that is my experience. Scaling up requires time consuming steps to make it look better and in real time games, you'd want to preserve all cycles for the game loop and not scaling graphics. I believe it can be done with Android tho.
