>> What will be different to GTA04A4?
>>
>> * 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
