Unless you want to argue that the average user won't be needing any third-party programs, I think the biggest disadvantage of a 240x240 screen is incompatibility.

If you had a 320x320 or 480x480 screen, there'd still be a good chance that you could run a lot of legacy (240x320) apps without too many problems, but when you have a 240x240 screen, there's little chance that a program's going to work well without revisions. Think about all the new releases that were necessary when landscape support came out and you'll know what I'm talking about.
