Nice.

Combining the FR display with a faster processor is interesting.

It'd be even better if it either fit in the FR case, or some
alternative case can be ordered instead. Expanding the FR case
by making it thicker is also an option.

Is the touchscreen the only FR component that can be reused?
The gps unit is rather good - could it be connected to
the new board with only simple soldering?
