What also strange is what is written on the Webpages.

http://www.smediatech.com/product3362
90% of the Information reffer to the Glamo3365 Video Chip.

just a example from the Webpage http://www.smediatech.com/product3362

Two lines above you can read this here

Glamo3362 can support the screen resolution up to VGA (640*480) dimension,

It looks like they have just copy and paste some of the webpages and edited
one or two words. A big portion of the information on the webpage dont make
sense.

A data sheet for the Glamo3362 would be not bad.
For some reason it can't be found on the net.
