Not I. Difficult to imagine why anybpody would want that. I presume
they're made by people stuck in a PC 800x600 world who have never
tried anything else.

There's a trade off. At the end of the day if it looks the same on
a PDA as on a huge monitor, where "looks the same" does not mean identical
but close enough, that is, if if looks very similar at any resolution
wthout things banging all about or screwing up, then I'm happy.
If I can read it and it doesn't look stupid that's the goal, wide
screen or small screen.
