>>> 
>>> * the GPS receiver can provide a 1 second impulse interrupt to the CPU
>>> * the infrared receiver can be independently powered off (it was alternatively powered with RS232 before)
>>> * some sensors have been upgraded to non-obsolete versions (e.g. BMA180 is out of production)
>>> * WLAN/BT power controlled through a GPIO (so that VAUX4 is now free for other use)
>>> * 6-pin ZIF connector for external keyboard or other I2C devices
>>> * it is possible to use a new earpiece (from Knowles) so that we finally can offer a complete case kit
>>> * the GPS antenna switch has been redesigned
>>> * improved headset detection hardware
>>> * CPU will be always 1 GHz and Memory 512MB RAM / 1GB NAND
>>> * UMTS module may have newer firmware inside (tbc.)
>>> * there is a plan for a 3D printed case (approx. 50 EUR) with integrated touch pen
>>> * there will be 3D data (STEP) of the PCB and components so that you can design your own case that fits with a micrometer precision :)

>>> Preliminary (there may still come minor changes coming from PCB
>>> Layout tuning and from first production feedback) schematics can be found here:
