   The LCD is 240x320, though from the photos I'm assuming it's mounted   
   sideways and there's software to rotate the fonts etc...   
      
   In any case, you won't get the full Model I resolution (384x192) out of it -   
   let alone Model 4 hires (640x240).

   You could wait for a Pandora - though it's roughly 10x more expensive! The   
   CPU alone is at _least_ twice as powerful, runs Linux, has a touchscreen,   
   gaming nubs/buttons, stereo sound and 800x480 LCD.
