For you perhaps. My 40 year old eyes are able to read the screen quite well. Thank you very much. You stick with SE. I'll stick with true VGA.

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:

So....

It seems like everyone is fussing about not getting the SE upgrade from HP and Dell and as usual, with Microsoft, they only do a half-a**ed job of implementing something.

If only the 3rd party companies could figure out how to work without a reset.

Speaking of reset, I've not used these programs but is it a manual reset or does the software do it for you? Also, does it actually reset or just refresh the screen? I ask cause every other HH I've ever used that had Landscape mode usually requires a Screen Refresh.

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Only VGA devices can use this.

Is the Ipaq 20xx a VGA device?

Screenshots don't do an actual real E800 screen justice. The display on the E800 in VGA is beautiful and my eyesight a'int that great. It really comes into it's own using IE, Textmaker or Excel. I've converted a hell of a lot of educational docs into Repligo format and it's just so much better than on my 2210 which is QVGA 240x320 screen.

ctitanic,

Just be sure to tell the man he is officially a star! I think he may single handedly have solved the one issue that flawed the new VGA Pocket PCs (for some of us anyway... )

Agreed. This now makes SE usable. I've reinstalled it.
As for the people not understanding the use of VGA, you can't tell from the screenshots. It's much better than qVGA - especially for ie, adobe, repligo, etc.
