hooraaaay, good for them.  still that god-awful soul-sucking 1024x600 LCD
but it's a start.  _eventually_ one of these guys will get with the picture,
and start to realise that ARM processors actually can function as like,
uhhnnn "real computers, y'knoww?"

ok.  i say "start"... what i meant to say was: this device appears to be
another reference platform demo unit, sold to multiple factories so far,
multiple random demos created in the vague hope that some random sucker
somewhere will place a large enough order to justify making them.

sorry to be a cynic :)  i should be saying "wow amazing, let's contact them
and ask them to a) comply with the GPL b) put on a decent screen".  oh wait,
that's cynical as well darn it to heck.

anyone got any better ideas / approaches? :)
