   With color fault fixed. I like it. I think a relative price of $99 would be   
   cool. If it has an LCD screen module.... cool. Sort of like PSOne. Keyboard   
   need not be bigger than a laptop keyboard.   
      
   Riccardo, what do you think. Laptop Module would be an additional cost since   
   they do add some cost. $99, whole unit with a flash memory module packaged.   
   32,64 or 128 MB. I haven't checked prices lately on flash memory but maybe   
   you can suggest a size module for a starter pack.
