Here's one you may not have heard before: a manufacturer decides to stick a VGA touchscreen in some handset model
not because it wants VGA resolution, but just because it got a killer deal on them. That's the rumor being floated on a handful of sites and forums about ASUS' monster
P750 Windows Mobile 6 Professional device, with some sharp-eyed contributors noticing that each logical pixel on their devices' screens are actually comprised of -- count 'em -- four physical pixels. Indeed, a quick glance of the spec sheet for the alleged part number used reveals a "VGA/QVGA dual viewing mode," so the story seems to check out, and folks are apparently already hard at work enabling full 640 x 480 resolution on their beloved devices. Good luck, everyone!

Great, another great gadget handicapped by Windows...

You are a tool.
This has nothing to do with Windows - it's Asus' choice to run it at 320x240 (if it is indeed a VGA part.)
