It was to be a perhaps lower specced device in some areas, but add camera and perhaps a lower res screen - was to be a mass item rather than aimed at the technologically literate. I can see the reasons for this ($'s in the door), but theres no reason the gta04 wont be more like what we want. Even if its still got a 640x480 screen, I wont be buying a gta03 unless it BOTH is an advance on the FR (which means it stays with a resistive screen), and I can actually see and test its working.
