Which programs are you waiting to become VGA aware?
I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for:
TomTom Navigator (More stable than Mapopolis, but has quirks) SpaceTime (QVGA at the moment, VGA promised, but yet to be delivered) Mapopolis (real VGA and brute force exhibit crashes) Any TV remote control software (I can only find QVGA) Any chess game (I can only find QVGA) Virtual Pool (QGVA mode only - brute force fails) Calligrapher (not 100% optimised) SPB Time(QVGA) WEBis Mail (must turn off cleartype) Decent, easy to install free VGA keyboard in English!
I have registered/paid/trial versions of all. But if I see a competitor go VGA first, well... I can be bought. :)
What apps/games are you waiting for? Know if one of the above is beta testing a VGA aware build? Post here!

I am also waiting for TomTom Navigator
WebIS Mail is already VGA aware (at least there is a beta version which is)
Netfront! I hate all the VGA hacks I have tried on it.

NetFront. Although when I wrote them they said they had "no plans" for SE which was hard for me to believe considering they did a custom version just for a Toshiba model.
As for "Any Remote Control Software" you might want to check out NetRemote:
Don't wait for TomTom or Mapopolis. OnCourse Navigator 4 supports VGA, Landscape, and SE_VGA, both portrait and landscape. It is also has better maps and instant route recalculation. It is pricier though, at $159.00, but well worth the extra cost.

I tried it's European equivalent: Navigon, but I found the software to be very crippled without a GPS attachment (which I don't have - yet) and generally slow. The version I used wasn't VGA aware either. The US version is probably much different, but in Europe, Mapopolis and TomTom are leading.
PTVL (looks like 10 char minimum for a post, adding this to make it long enough :))

It is slow, you need to install the software into main memory (that's a downer), which speeds things up quite considerably. But, while actually navigation (which is what it's built for) maps update very quickly and it has the best voice promts I've ever heard and the most detailed maps I've ever seen, and I've tried all the major competetors.
