Well, in my case, it is desirable if not perfect. :-( I work on a very high profile app and I've been in contact with a Samsung rep who is encouraging us to support the Galaxy Note for the home screen that is having problems with layout on its display. I have been assured that it will be shipping with Gingerbread and being "large". (They are also testing the app on a device that they will not share with us.)
With this resource qualifier for screen dimension, does anyone know if it is width x height or the other way around, or does it matter at all?
