Touch screens are already available for the PI2 clones the latest tablets, quad core processors, are the same as the PI2 clones , the PI2 clones have greater interface capability, but most tablets have one audio i/p, two audio o/p, USB and HDMI, plus wifi and bluetooth. Android uses the same kernel as linux, its only the file structure is different. Linux can be run over the Android system, I've haven't tried it yet but I suspect with a little playing WSJTX could be run on an Android tablet, and put a USB socket on a smartphone , and that becomes open to use as well. There is a lot happening and it would be shame to ignore it -- -- Best wishes /73 Richard Bown Email : rich...@g8jvm.com HTTP : http://www.g8jvm.com nil carborundum a illegitemis ################################################################################## Ham Call: G8JVM .
