Been searching high and low for any news on a 2nd VGA PocketPC Phone... but I'm not having any luck.

ATM the only VGA PocketPC Phone that will work outside JAPAN or KOREA [they have some VGA PPC Phones there but those won't work outside their networks] is still the HTC Universal [aka i-mate JASJAR/Dopod 900/O2 XDA Exec etc etc], have the wise guys [I write this with 200% sarcasm] at DELL/HP/FS/ASUS/HTC etc. turned their back on the VGA PocketPC [more importantly the VGA PocketPC Phone]? Or have they just learned to keep better secrets? I'm sure the market is dictating smaller devices but how about screen resolution? I mean some Nokias have higher res [i.e. N80 has 352 x 288] than a qVGA [240 x 320 PPC or Smartphone]. Most PPCs are coming out with sub 3" in. displays [2.7" or 2.8" in.] I wonder how VGA would look on these screens? With the display technology now why aren't we seeing sub 3" in. VGA displays? Are manufacturers staying with 176 x 220, 240 x 320 and 240 x 240 to keep costs down? I doubt that there is 0 demand for VGA resolution PDAs or is this market too small and therefore insignificant to them? Is the VGA PocketPC a dying breed? I really hope not!
