Support of VGA resolution for Pocket PC devices. The SE now supports up to 640 by 480 resolution. The current version of Pocket PC 2003 only supports 320 by 240.
Support of QVGA (Quad-VGA) resolution for Smartphones. The Smartphone SE now supports a resolution of 320 by 240, which is what Pocket PCs today are capable of displaying. The current Smartphone in the market only supports a resolution of 176 by 220.
Dual-display mode for Pocket PCs: Portrait and Landscape mode. The SE allows the Pocket PC display orientation to be switched on the fly. As such, applications need to be modified if they want to take advantage of this feature. Smartphones, however, do not support dual-display mode.
The SE now supports a new form factor (square): 240 by 240 and 480 by 480 (for VGA screens). This new form factor is suitable for vendors who want to incorporate a hardware keyboard to the device.
