1) Yeah, QVGA is not awesome. It's fairly typical.
2) Well, the Axim X51v has a VGA screen (about the same pitch as the N800, in fact), and some others do, too. 800x480 is much rarer; the only device I've heard of is the HTC Touch HD.
3) I know the device emulator will happily emulate that resolution. As for VNC, well, of course. The emulator's not the awesomest thing in the world, of course; VNC over BT to a real WM device would probably be more useful. (And more expensive...)

If you really want screenshots, I can probably get some together... I don't have VNC on my laptop, and I don't have the winmo device emulator on my desktop.

Windows Mobile at 800x480 is also found on the Toshiba G900 and Toshiba G910/G920 (although with their tiny 3.0 inch displays, there's not much point).

Not that Touch HD display will be much bigger :)

If you consider the screen surface area (not just the screen diagonal), the Touch HD has 60% more surface area than the Toshiba 800x480s. The NITs have 18% more surface area than the Touch HD, and 89% more surface area than the Toshibas.

Why are so many people against having a windows mobile emulator, it must be better than garnet and even if its not its still something that people would like to try.

I don't think anyone's against it, really; I'm sure if Microsoft produced one, a lot of people would use it. But we all know that won't happen.

No, the majority of people prefer not being sued :D That is assuming the years of reverse engineering required to make this project barely usable work...
