Technically speaking you can already run Maemo on any resolution, it'll
just look goofy. You can easily check how badly things will break by
running Xephyr in desired resolution rather than 800x480

We are aware of the hardcoded limitations in places and are working to
make things more flexible in the future. However as you probably know
the next software release is still going to be running on the same
hardware.

There are some changes you can do simply by replacing the png files with
a bit smaller ones and editing the gtkrc accordingly. For others you
need to change (or preferrably remove) some hardcoded pixel measurements
in the code. In some cases you may even need to do a different layout,
like remove the number pad from the VKB.

Currently the VKB is probably the trickiest part as the code isn't open,
but for the rest it's just work to be done...
