So, is VGA PPC possible in a year or so?
It's possible now, but the boys in Redmond don't want that for some reason... they restrict OEMs to QVGA even though the sharp Zaurus uses 640x480 fine, with current day technology. In fact, hte digitizers I believe are already VGA, just the displays are QGA and it rounds, unless it needs extra resolution for handwriting recognitiion or something like that. That couldbe made 1:1 instead of 4:1, and the tihng owuld look a lot sharper, be able to view WAY more text, and numerous other benefits... it's a shame they don't simply put in the stupid screen, and set OS resolution to 480x640 with pixel doubling for fixed apps, and an API to take advantage of the extra space.
