[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 991442, member: 24160"] It is 4:3. They do not give the actual dimensions of the screen. But they do have the dimensions of the device and the border appears to me to be the same size all the way around. 9.56 inches divided by 4 = 2.39 7.47 inches divided by 3 = 2.49 And the resolution of the screen itself, 1024 x 768, is a typical 4:3 aspect ratio. If you look through the keynote, you'll find one place where they played a short vid of the latest Start Trek. It was letterboxed in the horizontal position. Now that could very well change between now and it's release. It's also possible that there is a way to fill the screen. That's just something none of us will know for sure until we get them in our hands. edit: I believe the [URL='https://www.umpcportal.com/products/Archos/9']Archos 9[/URL] is going to be 16:9 if you want a Windows device.
