I'm just saying that theoretically, they could have used a 320x320 screen along with a fill-in-the-gap technique rather than 240x240 or 480x480 with a pixel doubling technique.
In my opinion, the 320 to 240 chop-off technique was a bad idea. They should have increased the resolution in WM5 instead and made it 320x320 or 640x640 instead of 240x240 and 480x480.
