That has been especially true of flash drives - I remember seeing a

I'm sorry to break into your nice flamewar, but I've just wanted to ask:
pro-QVGA people, are you serious?
In two years (yep, that's when GTA03 will be released judging by GTA01-02)
QVGA will be just like floppy drives on notebooks - totally non completive.
And won't be because everybody *really

The only reason for me considering the Freerunner is the VGA display. I don't
car much about videos on portable devices, but I want a sharp large screen for
navigation (maps), browsing (www), reading/composing (email).
If people want video devices they can get plenty devices out there, but there

I would not be remotely as interested in a device which is not, at
least, VGA. As another person mentioned qvga is too small to do any type
of web browsing effectively. I currently u

But the freerunner does have a VGA screen and as per information in Steve's

Honestly, if the freerunner did not have VGA screen but QVGA, I would not
buy it !
For me, VGA is a must have feature. As other said, there are plenty of QVGA
devices. I don't want one of them because of the resolution.
I have a Dell Axim X5 and I'm really sad about the QVGA resolution (in
be readable, also a let you more useful surface to develop any
app(more buttons, menu items)
I'm wrong with all that thoughts?

The difference between the VGA screen of the Neo and the QVGA screens I have
are very clear to me (with the VGA being clearly superior) when kept side by

This question is probably just because I misunderstood something you said
before, but I'll ask anyway :)
If it is acceptable to use QVGA, couldn't that basically be done without any
hardware changes? I believe I remember you saying the glamo does scaling,
so couldn't you let SW treat the display
