There was a previous discussion on this subject that boils down to the latest components needed to be bought in bulk, i.e. 500,000 peices, FIC couldn't justify buying so much so went with lesser quantaties of components companies wanted to get rid of, also FIC wanted open specs, but companies don't want rival companies knowing their products specs so they'll only open the specs on older chips . sorry, cant' find the mail in question, it is buried in the insanely long qvga vs vga/yummy cpu&gpu combo threads _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
