Compatibility mode does not hide the fact that the screen is WVGA.  The
screen you see is still that tall, so any layout you do will be within that
screen.

Turning off compatibility mode doesn't mean you need to have graphics for
every density; the system will still scale graphics if they aren't in the
density of the screen (in fact it can do this better because it doesn't at
the same time need to make your app think the graphics are not scaled).  And
the new APIs give you a lot more control over how the scaling happens -- for
example you can much more easily have them scaled at load time, rather than
this happening at draw time and potentially significantly slowing down your
app.
