Yes, screen size matters and I am in a unique position to demonstrate that old adage. I have so many gadgets in Mobile Tech Manor that it occurred to me that I can show many different screen sizes on devices.
The devices, screen sizes and resolution as shown in the video:
- Viliv S5 UMPC, 5-inch, 1024×600
- Viliv S7 UMPC, 7-inch, 1024×600
- Lenovo S10-2 netbook, 10-inch, 1024×600
- Lenovo S12 netbook, 12-inch, 1280×800
- Apple MacBook, 13-inch, 1280×800
- Lenovo ThinkPad T400s, 14-inch, 1440×900
It is interesting that all devices from 5 inches through 10 inches have the same resolution, so things appearing on-screen vary from tiny to quite large. All of the notebooks, netbooks and UMPCs shown in the video are running either Windows XP or Windows 7.
