This is unfortunately not so easy as it sounds. The device support you
mentioned later is much easier, that should tell you something.
Most applications today expect higher resolutions, and the 480 are a big
problem for them.
I see more hope that we will see devices with higher resolution that an
adaption of the applications to the smaller resolution.
Yes, for cell phones and smart phones this is done, but that's a little b=
it
different, and only covers a selected part of applications.
