Microsoft Typography - What is ClearType? |
While I'm sure your technically correct, I don't think it's black and white (pun intended), for my purposes on a small 2.8" poor resolution QVGA screens, ClearType for basic text reading is a huge improvement in legibility, even in lanscape mode, especially for tired old eyes that are used to large VGA screens, eg, x50v. Some devices & ROMs do allow ClearType out of the box in landscape mode, eg, Sprint's Mogul and even the current ROM on Verizon's 6700.
