Re: [Gumstix-users] interfacing gumstix to a widescreen PDA LCD

[Kunjan S. <ma...@ku...>]

i looked at the earth lcd screens but they dont have quite wht i want...

basically i want to make a PDAish device and eventually have it able
to play video and music using GPE or OPIE (http://handhelds.org) and
also maybe make a tuxphone out of it
http://www.surjpatel.com/?q=3Dnode/37

i am wondering if a PXA250 would handle all that movie playing load...
or should i wait for the pxa270 gumstix..

also thanks michael i am looking into using a PSP LCD that screen is
awesome and widescreen too.


Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Kunjan.
