[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.

[Note: For Cemetech, you can start a new topic here for feature suggestions.]

- ]b]Wifi[/b] no. Maybe a lower-power propritary link.
- Backlight yes. RGB?
- Mini USB or regular USB Would require a host controller chip and tons of software. Maybe optional.
- 2.5 mm link cable or 3.5 mm link cable 3.5mm if anything. Maybe a TRUE serial link though?
- SD card I suppose so.
- ABCDE keyboard Yeah, QWERTY doesn't work on a portrait-form-factor device.
- Screen size/resolution - old 96x64, or higher? MUST be higher. Please.
-> But with same actual dimensions, but better pixel density. Can use more of the LCD area, perhaps?
-> Suggested high resolutions: 192x128, 240x160, 320x240 Sure, any of those are fine.
-> Aiming at a 3:2 aspect ratio Agreed.
- Memory size (need to do a bit of research before deciding on options, this is top priority) 16MB, because that's what the eZ80 can address.
-> RAM, Flash ROM Some of each
-> Note that eZ80 can only address up to 16 MB, any more needs swapping Yes, but that's fine
-> GOOD Flash chips, something that lasts for a VERY long time Wear is part of Flash memory. You can't really avoid it in the long run
- Sound? If so, should use a decent, ie, Atari-era chip for it.
- Linking: FAT filesystem emulation for easy, simple transfers What? Do you want to write the software for that? I think linking should be true RS232 serial.
- Grayscale screen Ideally, yes, unless that would spike the price
- Internal rechargeable battery, AA battery or AAA battery LiPoly, please.
