You are certainly correct in that it's an app by app situation. Some appear archaic, almost like something from an early palm device. Other's fit the whole screen and are quite usable.

But this doesn't seem to be limited to old ppc apps, I also had the same problem with new 2010 apps written for Android... that was part of my decision to sell my Android device. I downloaded 30 or 40 apps for it and none of them seemed appropriate for a 7" screen. I've had far better results with this Wince device... out of the same number of apps, at least 50% have justified the larger screen size.
