Hi all,

The idea is great, and (I thiunk) not so much hard to do.

The project could be based on the GTA04 hardware, (because it can be 
used with a larger screen, with higher resloution), thoug the GTA02 
won't ba able to.

So it is only a problem of finding a new touchscreen, and a case (as 
usual ,-) ).

It could be a good idea to ask to Dr Nocholaus Scheller for the screen.
