people would really think about qvga. i'm fairly agnostic about vga vs qvga myself - i'm on the fence with it. i see the benefits both ways. if we could have i'd have liked an intermediate res (eg 480x272), but we won't. -- Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

le with the equipment you have. good! so yes - the blurry scaled down in gimp @ qvga would be a qvga screen on a freerunner. vga would be sharper. then again - until u have a 285dpi screen it's hard to really compare! :) but this is the best you can do! nice! :) opinion noted for the future!
