All images should be POT Squared that is to the Power Of Two Squared. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_two#The_first_72_powers_of_two. The largest one single image should be is 1024x1024.

This raises something I was planning on asking the board in a while, do any of you users experience iPhone Memory Warnings when using 1024x1024? I need to do some more experiments but currently that seems to be the trend.

You can, but it is easier on the engine to digest images that are POT SQUARED. meaning 2x2, 4x4 etc.

480x320 should load fine. Look in the log for any messages as to why it is not loading. However, Rennie is right, it is more efficient to have POT2 images - your nearest would be 512x512.

I wonder whether the size of the images could be defined by some image resizers? If so, it won't be a problem.
