Then <a href="http://www.visualit.co.uk/zoom.htm">Zoom</a> is the tool for you. This small utility lets you instantly see a high quality bi-cubic zoomed area of any part of the display."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/adrian/zoomer.gif" /><br /> <br />"Zoom works with any Pocket PC application. With a quick press of a button and a tap on the screen, an easily readable, fully scrollable zoomed-in view is displayed. This application also works in landscape mode and on the new high resolution Windows Mobile 2003 SE devices."<br /><br />Zoom's features include:<br /><br />• Will work with any application. <br />• Can be assigned to any hardware button<br />• Zoomed screen can scroll by dragging the stylus<br />• Superb high quality bi-cubic zoomed area<br />• Choice of 3 ways to display the zoomed image: full screen, top/bottom screen section or under stylus. <br />• Works on the new high resolution screen Pocket PC''s. <br /><br />You can grab a free 2-day demo version buy the full version for $12.00 from the <a href="http://www.handango.com/brainstore/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=311&productId=122750">Handango site</a>.<br /><br />At the risk of setting myself up for a bunch of "old guy" jokes, I just may have to give this a try. I don't have a LOT of trouble reading stuff on my Pocket PC, but Zoom might also prove to be more convenient than the multiple clicks needed for most applications' internal "View/Zoom" capabilities.

$12 seems a lot for a 'small utility' that you'd only use occasionally. Just as a frame of reference, an identical app is freeware for Palm.

But let the market freely decide; Buy it if you want it.

Well that makes sense. Lets buy a new PPC with 480x640 resolution so we can get twice as much on the screen, and then buy this neat little app so that we can read it :lol:
