You touch on what I discovered when using MyVGA on my e805. In practice, I found the unscaled VGA mode to be perfectly usable--so long as I was perfectly stationary. When I am just sitting in a chair and fiddling with my PDA, it works great--and the value of all that extra screen area should not be underestimated.
All that goes out the window, though, when I have to use it in less than perfect conditions (such as in a car, or while walking). Even the smoothest of cars bounce around enough that the fonts are too small to see easily, and the controls are too small to tap reliably. Using unscaled VGA in a car was an exercise in frustration.
I see it as being a "right tool for the job" issue: if I know that I can sit down and concentrate on my PDA, I'll switch to unscaled VGA; otherwise, I'll switch it to scaled VGA (pixel-doubled QVGA). Now if only it didn't take 30 seconds to switch between the two... :?
What I'd
really like is to be able to scale everything (but especially the header and footer) by 75%. On a 4" screen it looks like "baby's first PDA" in scaled VGA, but everything is just a bit too small for comfort in unscaled VGA. Somewhere between the two would be ideal. Of course, that would mess with all the programs which expect a specific screen layout. :roll:
