Re: Display Woes and ?s

actually that size of a display does quite well with gps and other things.
It's not displaying everything at once that allow's this. In fact I have
found that at times only small icons are needed. my gps displays a small
arrow at the top right to guide me (Actually points to a relative north
right now) email indication is a numerical display at the bottom left. and
the rest is mostly blank when not actively in use. then I use pager to
switch between apps or desktops.  I would love to have a real 640x480
greyscale... but that is still way in the future for affordable versions...
(Dreaming of a liquid image M-2?? tony?? anything on the horizon?)
