[android-developers] Re: How to use whole screen on 1024x480 Android device (Acer Iconia Smart)?

Since 1024x480 is a very unusual size and probably not supported
correctly by Android, they Acer was probably forced to report a
"standard" Android resolution of 854x480 (are you really seeing 855,
not 854?)

My guess is there are some custom libraries from Acer out there for
that device to access the entire screen real estate.
