What size wallpaper/desktop background?

I'm creating a website that has free downloadable wallpaper/desktop backgrounds.

I need advice on what sizes I should create. I want to have as few sizes as possible but be able to accommodate as many different computer screens as possible.

I have narrowed my list down to two sizes:
1920x1200
1600x1200

Also I would be interested in creating mobile device backgrounds. I looked into popular phones and the resolution of their screens. My list has 4 phones on it:
960x540 - Droid RAZR
960x640 - iPhone 4
1136x640 - iPhone 5
1280x720 - Samsung Galaxy

Are there other popular phones that I should add to this list?
Do I need to add more options for desktop backgrounds?

I'm creating all the backgrounds myself, so I want to reduce the number of times I have to resize the background.

When I set a background image on my phone, I can freely crop/resize the image during the process, and the phone uses the new version while leaving the original image untouched.
And modern computers all allow you to resize it to fit the screen.

Which means it's probably save to only offer 1920x1200 backgrounds.

  • My iPhone 4 wallpaper won't stay still? I have an iphone 4.(jailbroken)So I got this picture (from google) and I wanted to set it as my wallpaper for my home screen but when I set it and I go to the home screen to see it, every time I move my phone, my wallpaper moves kind of with the direction I'm moving the phone. Is there a way to stop this? Or is that the way it's suppose to be?
