You missed a few significant developments: We have optimized PocketTV to take advantage of several hardware accelerator chips (ATI Imageon and Intel 2700G) allowing VGA-resolution playback at full framerate on the devices that have these video chips. And we include all that in the freeware version.

And naturally, PocketTV plays in true VGA resolution on native VGA devices.
TCPMP does a much better job than PocketTV, and supports heaps of other formats. I haven't used PocketTV since my Jornada 545 days.

Totally agree, this "True VGA" term only refers to the size of the UI elements, not the resolution of the display!
I quite like the term "True VGA" as it does better represent the higher resolution offered by hacks like OzVGA. Microsoft's version of the VGA interface on VGA devices doesn't take advantage of the higher res for displaying more information. Since receiving my X50v 5 days ago I have used "True VGA" for at least 95% of the time. Its sooooo much better than Microsofts VGA interface.
