[This is a mirrored thread from Omnimaga]
Here are the suggested features that we (both Cemetech and Omnimaga) will be voting on:
- Wifi
- Backlight
- Mini USB or regular USB
- 2.5 mm link cable or 3.5 mm link cable
- SD card
- ABCDE keyboard
- Screen size/resolution - old 96x64, or higher?
-> But with same actual dimensions, but better pixel density.
-> Suggested high resolutions: 192x128, 240x160, 320x240
-> Aiming at a 3:2 aspect ratio
- Memory size (need to do a bit of research before deciding on options, this is top priority)
-> RAM, Flash ROM
-> Note that eZ80 can only address up to 16 MB, any more needs swapping
-> GOOD Flash chips, something that lasts for a VERY long time
- Sound?
- Linking: FAT filesystem emulation for easy, simple transfers
- Grayscale screen
- Internal rechargeable battery, AA battery or AAA battery
I will NOT be looking into the original thread for suggested features. It's kind of long, isn't it?
That means if you still have features to suggest, suggest them in the feature discussion topic.
Suggestions will close this Friday. (August 13th) Why? School is about to start VERY soon (for some, it already has), and
we really need a solid foundation before people start becoming busy and such.
Please do not post in this topic. This topic is meant for tracking features only.
