Square Screen Pocket PCs Coming Soon?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 09:50 AM
Pocket PC Developer Darryl Burling received an interesting email from Handango recently that stated the following:
"Handango is preparing a special marketing program for applications that support the new square screen Pocket PC. Are your Pocket PC applications screen orientation aware? If so, please send a quick email to [deleted] with your company name and a list of your screen orientation aware Pocket PC applications."
If Handango is looking for developers to make sure their apps are square-screen aware, that much mean we'll soon be seeing square-screen Pocket PCs. We've heard rumours about them since 2003 SE allowed for multiple resolutions to be supported, but details on the hardware has been virtually non-existent. The thought of a clamshell Pocket PC phone edition with a keyboard gets me pretty excited! :mrgreen: If the iPAQ 4350 had a square screen, it wouldn't been so painfully tall, and likely would have been my preferred device over the 4150 I used for many months.
