There is a NEC Versa model that has an 800x600 display. This is the same box that is OEM'ed by AT&T as "The Globalyst" that has the 800x600. In an article in Computer Shopper, NEC has promised 1024x768 some time this year. Personally, I find 640x480 totally unusable. For an 80 column 14 point/2 point spacing JIS 208 font, 1280x1024 is a minimal display. Typical usage is to live with 40 columns and double-width Kanji.
