I doubt it is true, but if it were, remember, screen size isn't everything.
It's resolution that matters, in my book.
A MP2100 has screen resolution of 320x480. If a new device had the clarity
to get that resolution (or better) in a smaller body, I would be fine with
that. I'd still be able to see as much info on the screen as I do now.
Writing might be a bit harder on a small screen, but at least I'd be able to
see the whole crossword puzzle. :-)
Then again, I am the guy who sets his computer screen resolution so small
that everyone who walks into my office does a double take. What can I say.
I don't mind small print & icons, and I love lots of screen real estate.
