The 240X240 Dilema.

Many Pocket PC phones nowadays have 240x240 resolution because Windows Mobile 5.0
doesn't support 320x320 resolution and the next square screen resolution supported is 480x480.
However when it comes to prices of touch screens, the screens with 480x480 are too expensive,
so Pocket PC phone manufacturers, who wanted to use square resolution in order to accommodate
a QWERTY keyboard, were forced into 240x240.

Examples of devices sporting the square screens are the HP iPaq HW6515, HW6715, Palm Treo 700w,
and Fujitsu Siemens Pocket LOOX T830 Pocket PC phones. Look for some others later in the year.

When regular Pocket PC applications and games are run, the square screens cut off the information
below the 240 pixel mark. Sometimes, they do scroll but often that's not the case which means
that about 25 percent of the display is missing.

The only real solution to this problem is to have software that is designed to accomodate the
240x240 resolution.

Developers have begun to rework existing games and applications to work on square screen devices
but a convenient list of what's currently available is a little difficult to come by. So, I
decided to start a thread here to hopefully help a few folks out that will be buying these units
this year.

The Treo 700w in particular promises to bring many new Pocket PC users into the fold. This list
will hopefully guide many of them to what's available.

This list is by no means comprehensive, so if you know of any programs that are confirmed to
work on 240x240 devices, feel free to include them in this thread.

Please follow the basic format that I've started but feel free to add your comments, if any, so
that people will get a good idea of what the software is about. You don't need to shorten
the URL's like I did.

***Notes:

1) In order to make this post more readable,URL's have been shortened using the
Metamark URL shortner at: http://metamark.net/add

2) Descriptions and URL's are courtesy of PocketGear.com, a site I visit often.

3) Inclusion in this list is not an endorsment of the product by the author.
