Re: VGA vs. QVGA

I agree with Werner's comments above and would only add one thing. Are
the applications you are wanting to run compatible with VGA?

I can only go by what I read on the newsgroups and forums, and there I
see where people are finding programs that are supposedly VGA
compatible, but aren't really. They are having to make workarounds to
get a good display. I forget the exact figure of pixels displayed, but
I was also surprised to find that "VGA" screens on PDAs don't display
true VGA. It's only about half as many more pixels as in QVGA.

For what it is worth, I did a little in-store test once comparing a HP
iPAQ with QVGA (240x320), a Palm TX (320x400) and a hx4700 (480x640).
I expected to see a lot of difference, but didn't. Without looking
very very closely, I couldn't tell the difference between one and the
other for normal text reading, even on some of the smaller font sizes.

Good luck on your search.
Chris
