[android-developers] Re: Recommendations on Screenshot formats?

Actually, just noticed that my screenshots of uploaded 480x800 format
look in my phone's market exactly the same as the previews in the dev
console, cropped with left say 20pixels cut off. Seems you can use
that as a real indication on how they will look like...

BTW just uploaded a 320x480 and indeed in the preview it now is fully
shown, no cropping. Let's see what the market shows now on my phone
(N1). Nothing yet, waiting for the update of the images to appear...
