Just an Idea
 

Everybody knows how you can go and change your resolution on your windows PC right? Why not try to make an app that can allow us to do the same on our Pro? What I'm saying is... be able to instantaneously change the resolution from 640 by 480 VGA down to 320 by 240 QVGA so that we don't have to port so many apps and things to our newly found VGA resolution. Just change and run. Simple

But then again i may be wrong and not notice the fact that we don't have to change the res. to run these apps.

BUT.... How fast could you imagine our Pro's running in a lower resolution. All i know is that whenever you play a game on a PC and you so happen to change the resolution of the game down two or so notches, the games FPS pick up by the mother-load. So what about our Touch Pro's? Same scenario ya think? :)

But then again, just an idea at mind. Im going to bed. Talk to yall later.

Well, if you could do it, it would look like **** not running at the native resolution. If it was a viable solution, don't you think MS would have done it?

Also, it may or may not run faster at a lower res, but it would look like ****. Games run faster on lower resolutions because higher ones = more 3D processing work to do and such. These phones are designed for VGA, and don't do much graphics processing, so any gains would be minimal and not worht the effort (and putting up with how horrible it would look).

I think there's a lot of GPU-driven composting going on which means it might not be better to drop the resolution in half.

In addition, doing so would make everything look like... well... ****.

the only thing lowering the resolution is going to do is increase battery life.. thats it

Ever try running an LCD display at 800*600 when it's designed for 1650*1050 or some other high resolution? Looks grainy and fuzzy. Sure, you can often do it, it just scales really poorly... and if you don't scale it, you end up with a tiny screen with a big black border (like watching widescreen movies on standard TV's and vice versa).
