WHAT. IS. THE. SCREEN. RESOLUTION?
Still 800x480, apparently.

wow. then what the hell is the point of upping the screen size?! asus, you fail.

According to Anandtech (or Daily Tech if you prefer that), the resolution is 1200x600, not 800x400.

It's 1024 x 600 in all the news release information I've read.
I've read elsewhere that the res will be 1024 x 600... that will be fine for me!
