Don't worry about the slight difference in resolution: 540x960 is only slightly bigger than 480x800. The extra vertical space is easy: it gives you more room for your lists.

Unfortunately, full-width images (480 wide) are a slightly bigger problem. If you want pixel perfect images, you'll want to use scaleType="center" so the image centers but not scales. If you want full width, you can use scaleType="fitCenter" to make it fill. It will be a bit fuzzy... but so many thing on Android are ;-)
