Michael,
I'm not sure if the other guys read this mailing list too, but I wanted
to that all of you for opening up this topic and share my opinion.

We had some internal talk about how to go post GTA02 and Wolfgang wants
us to make it external.
We have a choice about basing on S3C2443 or S3C6400.
I like the 6400 better but information is a bit scarce right now and it
can go either way.
I myself like the overall look of the 6400. It has a bunch of decoding
& I/O features. The USB 2 could be useful to some people. It's also a
nice step from an ARMv4 to a ARMv6 instruction set. I didn't look too
hard, but what are the big reasons against the 6400?
Some other concepts kicked around:
- Merge the debug board function on to the phone, perhaps with internal
micro USB used for debricking and hacking. No write-once memory.
This would be great. Any chance to have downloadable firmware updates?
- Focus on SD Card rootfs rather than internal memory
Can we get a 2nd SD card slot, so 1 is for rootfs and 1 is for files in
general? If so, the rootfs card should be place in a separate location
& under a cover so it isn't accidentally pulled out.
To be clear though -- GTA02 is soon going to actually exist, and this is
just future talk right now. But because of that, if you have any ideas
about future arch, now is the time to throw them in and they will at
least get the time of day.
WiMax might be fairly interesting if it begins to permeate the market.
I know Intel is releasing chips that combine WiMax with Wifi and adding
it to laptops.
A slightly bigger screen might also be nice. I can't say much about the
future until I actually get my hands on some hardware that's been
created to date.
