Also for bigger display resolution you need faster CPU/graphics. 800x480 would 
be ok - but those few pixels are not worth IMO. HD on our omap3 could be 
sluggish. We can check how beagleboard performs. But keep in mind that what 
can be ok for desktop can be slow for phone where you need e.g. fullscreen 
scrolling.
