Looking for a specific component ben has used.

Ben used an LCD not from a TV, or PSone in the past. I think the project was for the pheonix. I want to know what LCD he used becuase i remember the suplier had some larger video LCD's that i really need to take a look at.

I've just found this for the PSP. It may be possible for similar technology to enable the GPX2 to be able use large compact flash drives for storage, or possibly even possibly a laptop harddrive.

Probable design concepts for the unit could be something like this. If this were to be released I'd actually probably buy this.

What do other people think of the rogue??

I'm definitely leaning ...

I'm considering this as a main baord the more I use my PC-Phone the more I become depressed at its speed and incompatability with other software. Especially emulation and inability to to use any multimdia software at all.

The screen is sooooooo sexy being all 640 x 480 and everything. (at 4 ...

Thats not a bad point you very probably could use a linux installed PDA to do the things you wany, and rebuild it in to a dedicated case for the unit. Here is a hack to attach a NES pad to an IPAQ.

It's well possible that the PSP LCD could be used with the gumstix board according to the mailing group I've joined through them. The datasheet for this particular panel is here. With a resolution of 480 x 272 is pretty awesome.

Are you sure about the USB HOST, I would have extra special love with it if it is true, it means I know where my next $260 dollars will be going.

Keyboard support? Harddrive support?

I'd buy it right now.... I mean right now.
