The issue about increasing resolution that it's by no means 'free'.

Yes, changing resolutions is rather tricky. Take iPhone with 320x480 for instance. Changing the resolution for the next HW would then basically break the current 3rd party applications (or at least make them look bad) - especially since they still don't have resolution independence and are drawing their stuff using bitmaps.

Device constraints != screen constraints; it's been suggested an N810-size platform could handle a 5" screen, and an N800-size definitely could.
You can make them even crisper than they are, you can make fonts smaller (although you can right now, too; resolution's not limiting on this at present) and in fact you can make gui elements smaller, at the cost of having to use the stylus; this is useful for ported apps.
And there are too many things designed around pixel spacings (notably on the web) that would be usable fit to the N8x0 display's size, but demand more pixels.
I think on a 5" screen, going as far as 1280x800 is the threshold of usefulness; anything over that probably won't help. But we're still way short of that.
That said, I'm with you on the 1280x800!

I'd personally say that the 800x480 resolution is really good already

It also only lasts until you reboot.
liqbase has a nice gui option for changing this
heh, this was meant to be a reply to qole from 3 pages back

I guess one of reasons is to have flash in browser play videos better (@400MHz) with sound.
The maximum is either 400/133 (with no DSP tasks) or 330/220 (with any DSP tasks).
Performance simply keeps it at the same maximum; 400 without DSP, but dropping to 330 whenever there's a DSP task.

I personally have no problem with the controller.
The biggest upset is that I cannot enlist the help of the custom chips to take some of the strain.
ragnar, as far as you can tell so far, will we have access to all of the features of the omap3430, or do you simply not know yet?

It's clearly a bottleneck for people who are not.
