Yes Jim,

In principle one can trade things off. As a matter of fact GPS_LOG
WinCE will allow you to make some tradeoffs exactly because the
display is somewhat larger. But, at least I, will leave font clarity
management to Microsoft . You will still be able to choose font you
like.

I will still stick to my 1550 for as long as I can.

Hi Henryk,

As a developer, aren't you able to use the pixels in the best
possible way? So if you have four times as many pixels you can
form the characters better and shrink them a little with the same
readability?? That plus the extra diagonal size should give us
quite a lot more info to see on the display at the same (yes -
inadequate . . ) legibility. Within the current HP range
(assuming that the H555x days are nearly over) HP buyers can only
choose between 3.5" and the 4" with it's high resolution 640x480
display. That's a big difference in area and a four fold increase
in 'detail'.

Looking forward to hearing of Paul's appraisal. Any one else able
to see one?

Cheers,
