The Openmoko Freerunner runs Android quite happily on a larger resolution than the G1. If you edit the skins for your emulator (they are just text files) it is quite easy to simulate larger (or smaller) screen sizes for development.
Pretty much all layouts are 'variable', apart from the fixed ones: a ListView will have more lines on a larger screen etc. What you are after is the android:layout_weight="x" attribute for your view elements. In your case you want, probably inside a LinearLayout, two elements, one with a weight of 4, the other 1. The weights are relative, so the first will get 80% of screen height, the other 20.
