TamsPPC - the PocketPC Blog

The German telefon-treff.de forum has been extremely active when it comes to rumors - an user recently managed to get his claws onto a 16GB MicroSD card. He immediately popped it into an i780 - here goes:

While no information on shipment dates is available as of now(and on how much this thing will cost when it drops), it’s good to know that 2 and 4GB memory card prices will drop a lot in the near future…and…well..we now know about yet another way to waste excess money…

P.S. In case anyone of you has the same thoughts I have…yes; it looks like we are looking at one of the first ITW-photos of the i780 we wrote about a few days ago. It does have a touchscreen after all…

Ever since the first handhelds with VGA screens hit the market, users began to debate about the virtues and values of high-res screens. In fact, one of the earliest editorials on TamsPPC was about why VGA screens for mobile devices didn’t catch on quite as fast as originally expected.

So far, so good - the Turkish web site Mobil Yazilar has now posted a “photo comparison” between VGA and QVGA screens - needless to say, the VGA screen wins, big time. In fact, it almost looks as if the Pocket PC operating system was designed for VGA screens(smallest font)…

Anyways, visit the folks via this link(seems to be the only English article on the page):
