I love the Idea of VGA and WVGA screens and have been waiting for them forever, but after getting an iPod Touch, I'm not really seeing the need. 480x320 in a 3.5" screen is pretty damn sharp. I'm not sure if a 800x480 3" is just plain overkill, especially considering that the more pixels you add, the more the GPU has to work to render the graphics.
