When the SB3 launched it was a very similar price to what the Touch will be at launch, it has come down in price over time.
Besides, "revamp" kind of underplays the amount of effort/cost that would be involved in moving the SB3 to LCD: - some of the components in the SB3 may well not be available any more - other will be coming to the end of their production lifetime - circuit redesign and layout will be needed to account for these missing components - there are far more people around who can write Linux C or learn LUA than there are who can program the exotic CPU in the SB3 -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ?
