I have switched from palm zire72 to hw6515. I Find that the screen strains my eyes more. Do you guys experience sore eyes after the transition too? Is the screen for pocket pc's more damaging to your eyes than palm? Not sure if it is just from natural deterioration of eye sight with age (I am 30 years old now)

Also is there a way to increase the font size for 'notes' so that they zoom to say 120%. I find 100% zoom levels too small and 150% too big. I am hoping there is software available which will allow me to do this.

Thanks

In answer to your main question, a couple of reasons I can think of here. First is that the resolution of the iPaq is 240x240, versus the Palm's 320x320. The Palm will therefore have a much sharper display. The second difference is that the Zire72's screen is also larger, which reduces eyestrain.

I seriously don't think this is a Palm vs Pocket PC issue.

Thats a good point.

Why let a minor thing like that get in the way of a post count? :lol:
