I have a wallpaper app with all wallpapers at 320x480 installed in the app. All pages are html pages. Should I start using 640 x 960 size wallpapers for iPhone 4? If so, will they display correctly in iPhone 3? I assume I should indicate the size as width=320 height=480 and iPhone 4 will automatically resize.

 

Regards,

Having a web browser scale down images is not a good idea, as they generally are not very good at it.

I sugest you display different content based on what device you're on in your (native?) app.

How do you handle other platform like android or blackberry? (if you do)

It’s for the iPhone and iPod touch. It’s all html pages after the initial startup screen. It’s all navigated via html links. It’s not for Android or Blackberry. It doesn’t open in a browser on the device. I hope these statements clarify the issue. I know that some have complained on forums when their iPhone 4 sizes up wallpaper, making them look worse. So I want all wallpapers in my app to include 640x960 size images. I’m checking here to find out what others suggest.

 

Here was my original post:

So if it's all HTML, you'd better check the screen width and link using Javascript to the best version of the image (image_320.jpg / image_640.jpg)
