How does T|3 handle Standard & Hi-Res resolutions?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

I've been looking at the T|3 with it's 320x480 dpi display. How does this
model handle software designed for the Palm Standard (160x160) and Palm
Hi-Res (320x320) displays? Does it just leave a blank screen under the
320x320 displayed, or does it somehow attempt to stretch that in some
manner?

an app has to be designed to use the larger screen area and they are
growing in number. You could use a 3rd party app like code diver to
try to "stretch" apps not designed for 320x480 - it works fairly well
but not all apps will work with it.

If you use a 320x320 app with the screen open it usually pops up the
virtual grafitti area rather than leave it blank.

Well, while stretching vertically might be a nice effect for a Hollywood
movie to make tall cowboys, I don't know how it might look for most Palm
applications. Of course, stretching horizontally with the screen turned
sideways may even be worse (fat cowboys?). :-)

I had a pretty good idea of what you were talking about, but just couldn't
resist playing around with the idea.

Yep, I almost convinced to buy a T|3. My wife now wants a PDA, giving me
an opportunity to pass my T|E on to her and purchase something else. I'm
totally satisfied with the T|E, so it is a tough decision to spend even
more. Well, take care.
