PDA stroke-based zooming

By Dan Wu

With the proliferation of PDAs with small VGA (640 x 480) resolution screens (like the
Dell Axim X50 or
HP iPAQ hx4705), all of a sudden being able to zoom in when viewing web pages is a big deal (unless you like squinting a lot). Microsoft Research has developed a simple interface which lets you zoom in on a portion of the screen with a single pen stroke, a feature we expect/hope/pray will be implemented in Windows Mobile 2005.
