Think about all the new releases that were necessary when landscape support came out and you'll know what I'm talking about.
But if 480X480 is just a high-res version of 240X240 and not really showing more information, how does hi-res help? It is the issue of a square screen, not the resolution of that screen and square screens are here to stay. Where is my logic mistaken?
