Note also that VGA does not mean the PPC displays four times as much info as
a QVGA one. The basic picture looks the same, but is significantly clearer.
My VGA JasJar, shows essentially the same display as my non-VGA (QVGA),
PDA-N, in most applications, including web browsers.

You have to hack virtually every VGA PPC into showing four times the info,
that is 640x480 distinct pixels. Then though you get the tiny effect that
Bev was talking about. Take your current QVGA PPC and hold it twice as far
away as normal and you get the idea of the text size you will need to deal
with.

Beyond that you will most definitely need to invest in some web browser
other than PIE. It is optimized for sites that are optimized for PDAs. It is
not ready to deal with sites that are expecting to be viewed by full PCs.

I would probably start looking at some websites that like to focus on VGA
PPCs, such as:

http://www.vgapocketpc.com/

With that stated, if you ever decide that graphics being a priority is not
such the rule I think  that you also take into consideration some non-VGA
units, if for no other reason than for comaprison.  You might find that a
lower priced unit (non-vga) still works for you needs, given other features
that you might like.

Still, a VGA screen does like quite nice...  But don't expect a VGA PPC
screen to contain all the information that a PC screen does - it is simply
too small to be effective, usually meaning that font sizes will need to be
increased to be readable.

Could you recommend me a couple of good VGA enabled PocketPC models?

Yes - since you are graphically centered forgo any PPC that does not have a
VGA screen.  Those that do have VGA should also have native landscape
support.

Dear friends:

I plan to go to the USA during the next months, and I want to buy
there a PocketPC with a good landscape orientation resolution for WEB
browsing.

The idea is to browse sites like CNN or BBC in landscape orientation,
without the need to use the slide bars to read every line of
information. Like a Nokia 770 but with the PocketPC Operating System.
Keyboard is not necessary, but WiFi (and maybe Bluetooth) is.

Any recommendation?

Any hint?
