My eyebrows went up when I saw the processor was so cheap, but then I went and found a datasheet for it and...

$1.42 buys

- ARM926EJS core at 900MHz consuming 54mA when on and idle

- 32MB DDR RAM

- 720p H264 @ 30fps hardware decode

- Audio DAC capable of 192kHz over I2S

- USB OTG (not full host)

- LCD RGB (FPC) interface at either 1024x600 or 1280x720 @ 60fps

- Touchpanel I/O

My version of this would have a tiny LCD, buttons, and a Wi-Fi interface. I know all of those exist in incredibly inexpensive formats. Adds to todo list

Wait this thing can run 720p video? Amazing

How cool would a mini lcd be with your contact details

With 900MHz and 32MB RAM it is more powerful than PCs when Doom launched (around 50MHz and 8MB RAM), so I guess it should be capable running Doom.
