Since I've got a shiny new CLIE NX-60 (PalmOS 5) I'd love to see 
Hi-Res support.  The tiny fonts are surprisingly readable and 
greatly help with getting more info on the screen.  And of 
course, I'd like to see High Res+ support (support for the extra 
screen area that the 320x480 screen gives you).

From a miniscule amount of reading it appears that Palm came out
with a "High Density" API which they use in the Tungsten T. So
for their PalmOS 5 devices, Sony has dropped their own High Res
library and use the High Density API.

So the bad news is to support all Sony high res devices you'll 
have to deal with two different APIs.  The semi-good news is 
that using the High Density API should give you both Sony NX 
(and later NZ) series support as well as Palm Tungsten.

I've got both Windoze and Linux machines.  I just started pulling
down stuff to make a simulator environment.  I'll drop a line
back if/when I get it working.  At that point I'd be happy to
help with alpha code.  I'd like to be able to help with the
coding but I've never managed to find the time to put together a
build environment.  Real Work (tm) chews up too much of my time.
