New devices come in many formats, and several professional devices made by Palm or Samsung are featuring 320x320 screen resolutions with 128dpi pixel density. These new devices include the new Samsung Omnia, Toshiba and Sonny Ericsson wide 800x480 screens or 400x320 screens, the Palm Treo Pro and many others!

Overall the new PhoneWeaver version supports ALL available screen resolutions by Windows Mobile devices
3. More powerful Command-Line Support!
Our advanced users will be glad to hear that the new PhoneWeaver version increases its powerful command-line support. Using the command line support users can take advantage of the large verity of commands offered by PhoneWeaver through any mean of shortcut button, such as iLauncher shortcuts, hardware buttons and so forth. In other works, you can now not only create shortcut buttons within iLauncher to activate certain PhoneWeaver profiles, activate/disable radio services and so on, but also read the current profile status parameters like running profile, locked state and much more. Taking advantage of PhoneWeaver's set of features even using other launcher, scripting or even linking to it with different applications easily.
To take advantage of the command line support you will need to create shortcuts to the following file: "\Windows\PhWeaver.exe XYZ" were the following values can be used for XYZ:
- SELECT_PROFILE : 1nn (Being nn the profile number with two digits). Also the command line for changing profile, appart from the classic 1nn can be the profile name (CAPS aware, caution).

- PUSH_ON: 913
- WIFI_OFF: 920

- PUSH_OFF: 923
- WIFI_TOGGLE: 930
- BT_TOGGLE : 931
- PHONE_TOGGLE: 932
- PUSH_TOGGLE: 933
4. PhoneWeaver external state monitoring!
New registry entries allow PhoneWeaver to be monitored with third party utilities. Under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\PhoneWeaver the following keys are available:
- RunningProfile: Will give you a 0 based index of the profile currently active. The order is the one selected in PhW options. I know it is not the name, but it is available now.
- RunningProfileName: The name of the running profile
- RunningProfileType: The Trigger type of the running profile (0=Manual,1=Timed,3=Power,4=Agenda)
- ManualProfile: If this value is the same than "running profile" means that the current profile has been manually selected.
