Imagine how larger screens, Nokia 770 among them, will feel to people! Oh, and just in case anyone misunderstood this title -- "The Next Big Thing" is not the Sony PSP but the whole category of device being created and its uses becoming clearer.

I won't get into the other issues, but give the Sony its due in the screen area. Let's hope that Sony will add e-book software--and I don't just mean something to do proprietary dreck from Sony itself. David Ah, come on, Mike.

480×270 (Ok–so I changed the screen orientation)
480×320

Will the typical user notie 50 pixels’ worth of res?

I won’t get into the other issues, but give the Sony its due in the screen area.

Let’s hope that Sony will add e-book software–and I don’t just mean something to do proprietary dreck from Sony itself.

While I personally favor the Nokia 770’s 800 x 480 screen for surfing, this is somewhat theoretical since I don’t have a device yet. Beattie is writing from experience. 480x270? Big deal. The Palm Tungsten T5 and the LifeDrive have 320x480 screens. And someone asked Beattie, What about the Zodiac [which Beattie claimed to have used for WiFi] isn't "instant-on"? No reply. And: No Plucker on that PSP, baby! Or PDF, for that matter. >>>While the PSP’s screen is 480 x 270, its price is only $250 and it has a huge gaming audience as a base.
