Hi David, I would think that the m505 is using a 320x320 display. We know that the new Clie is using a 320x320 display on a 33MHz Dragonball, which leads me to believe that the m505 will do the same. Khan

David, this article talks about the color screen res, and you are totally correct: "Both units use the same 160-by-160-pixel screen that has been on earlier models rather than the more dense screen that will be part of Sony's new Clie. The Sony unit, which will be launched first in Japan, has a 320-by-320-pixel color screen and is also the first Palm-based handheld that can play digital audio files. " Most likely the 320x320 res is a Sony inovation that will takes a few months before it will be incorporated into the later releases of OS4. But keep this to ourselves otherwise people will start waiting for 320x320 :-) ok, drop this topic and don't talk about it anymore. On the sidebar there is an audio interview with Yankowski, and he said Qcom is one of the Palm licensees. I think Qcom has decided to concentrate on the CDMA radio works instead of trying its hands on PIM which is not its strong suite. In fact, Qcom had never tried to encroach on Palm's turf - otherwise it wouldn never be the first Palm licensee for its phone. news.cnet.com Mang
