Hi, c_c!

Thank you for link.

Specifications ( http://www.armkits.com/product/k7.asp ) are not really
promising fast speeds: it is only 600Mhz cpu, and 'up to' 256 Mb sdram
volume is not really good for long term usage. Nothing told about
graphic card, so i guess CPU managing LCD, that should eat cpu resources
too. So, only caches size, memory type (unspecified) are different from
FR.

According to same page critical parts are missing from android like
power management, bluetooth, usb device support, and mic(!) and device
is mostly oriented to WinCE (notice also .asp in web address), this
sounds too bad for anyone who want open device, or hackable device with
linux on board at all.

Regards, Gennady.
