Really? I assume that Fearghas was talking about stuff like the Asus EEE (and the new Elonex One) rather than mobile phone like content. The EEE/Elonex/Cloudbook group of machines have fully functional OSes and fully functional browsers. They are far more like a PC than a mobile phone.

Hi Matt, Yes, Yes and yes to all your comments. If we could all work towards the standard of 1024 x 800 would be a massive plus for all and a piece of the jigsaw we can put a tick to in the box. I am a believer in development more than many and had the great fortune to develop and explore

I would suggest that with the recent appearance of cheap ultra mobile devices that 800x480 would be a more suitable minimum screen size. That's when you need a nice fluid design! Now if only most of the worlds web designers agreed with me :) - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion

These points are valid - But I am a believer in taking things forward, and not getting stuck with 800x600 because the aforementioned research says so... The name escapes me, I think it was on the BBC Blog, saying that 95% of users are on 1024 and up. That's some research you can't really
