How to solve small screen problem on N900?
 
Hi to all, I love my n900 all in one umpc/smartphone/camera... but I've only one problem: the small screen! (of course, compared to standard monitors). I've problem to read webpages, pdf files, write a .doc or excel file... so I think as possible solution:
1) to buy screen-glasses to connect to it. What do you think about?
If someone has experience of screen-glasses can tell me please if it's easy to use mouse/keyboard in the meantime uses glasses too?
2) to wait for new ole folding/flexible screens that can become big/small opening/closing themselves.

Carry a magnifier with you at all times.. Or you could do what zerojay suggested.. Can't really do anything else other than that..

My problem is: I want a small "all in one" device can I put easy in my pocket but if need be used "like" a notebook (eg. during to my wait at the barbershop...or in the train...) with a big screen, able to watch a movie or compile an inventory using excel or play flash-games on a website without loose my eyes because of small screen! At the moment it's scientific possible?
For this I thought, for example, at screen-glasses..other possible solutions?

what do you think about that: http://cgi.ebay.it/50-iTheater-Video...item4a9c360494

I don't have an N900 so I may be wrong but my impression was that it didn't have a cursor. Without that, your glasses would be fine for watching a movie but awful for surfing since you couldn't see the actual screen to interact with links.

@DaveP1: N900 has cursor too

@all: if I play a flashgame on a website and I zoom the screen I loose parts of the game!!

the N900 does have a cursor. swipe your finger/stylus from outside the screen to the inside of the lower left of the screen.

How you see next n900 like this?
http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/06/1...kin-batteries/
or this: http://www.concept-phones.com/apple/...arent-display/ (of course with maemo inside!!!)
maybe like my dreamphone...
it's possible whit this new oled flexible screens extend/shorten and fold in itself so change screen dimension? for example from an A6 paper dimensions to an A4 legal letter dimensions? (I mean change both 2 dimensions height and lenght?)

I remember reading somewhere that the size of the screen was a software restriction
