Screen resolutions of mobile devices is really a big issue. Since the screens are small, giving high resolution is not a very good idea, everything will be too small as UX. On the other hand, low resolution is very incommodious for using OS and browsing Internet as PDAs, UMPCs. If you put big screens, well, than they won’t be mobile. It’s like a paradox really.
James wrote his ideas about screen resolutions of ultra-portables. (Specifically UX,U series and UMPC)
I hope OEMs are paying attention and listening to user accounts like this one. Higher resolution is not always better when it comes to ultra-portable devices designed to be used in the hands. You have to be able to effortlessly read the screen when lots of text is displayed or the extra resolution quickly becomes a negative. Now lets see a 1024 x 600 Origami. That would be just perfect.
Actually, i believe 1024 x 600 resolution on UMPCs won’t be perfect, i believe James hopes that it will be perfect.
