What do you mean by "bundled GPS app not optimized"?

May 13, 2008


 

Question on Handhelds:

What do you mean by "bundled GPS app not optimized" in your review of the Samsung i780 PDA-phone? Can you explain it in more detail? Thanks.

I think you extracted that line from the summary page of the i780. In the second page of the actual review, you will see this:

"Because of the less common 320 x 320-resolution display, the application did not scale very well on the i780. In fact, both the menus and maps looked quite distorted as they were designed for a QVGA (320 x 240) display. Though you could still see the names of locations and figure out where you were, the mangled graphics were an eyesore. We downloaded MapKing 2007 and found the same issue."

Hope that clarifies the matter for you.
