This is not correct. The pssh application for a Palm Treo can produce a 80x25 terminal emulator with a full on-screen keyboard. It is hard to read, but definately usable. I use it daily (although almost always without the on-screen keyboard - then you get 80x47). The Treo's screen is only 320x320, so the Freerunner should be able to produce a 80x25 portrait window with on-screen keyboard and a fairly nice font. To those who argue that the ~150 DPI resolution one would get with QVGA on the '03 is nearly indistiguishable from the VGA resolution on a 2.8" screen I ask: When was the last time you saw a 150 DPI laser printer? Why are they so hard to find?
