When Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition was unveiled this spring, its support for VGA displays and screen rotation got much of the attention. However, one of the lesser-known features is apparently about to be used in an upcoming device.
According to burling.co.nz, one of the big software retailers has sent a message to developers that says,
"[deleted] is preparing a special marketing program for applications that support the new square screen Pocket PC. Are your Pocket PC applications screen orientation aware? If so, please send a quick email to [deleted] with your company name and a list of your screen orientation aware Pocket PC applications. "
While it is clear that a square-screen Pocket PC is on the horizon, this isn't enough to say what the actual screen resolution will be. Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition supports both 240-by-240-pixel and 480-by-480-pixel screens.
