<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">a) Better GPS reception !!</font>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>For the internal or the external antenna? The internal antenna was and is a little weak</div><div>and there is a general issue with noise generated by the SD/MMC card interface which</div><div>may reduce the S/N by approx. 10 dB.</div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">b) Use UMTS-modems with firmware update
or use a new 4G LTE capable modem !!</font>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div>If we can get one :)</div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">c) If you want to use a capacitive touch
(i.e. multi-touch), please keep on having the possibility for using the
current resistive one! I definitvely like it!</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">d) Keep on using OMAP3. OMAP4 needs
much more power, easily becomes hot when using its power and has very much
reduced livetime (See: "Power on hours (POH)" of this throw-away-processor,
as I call it to be.)</font>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div>The OMAP3 is already good and a dual core or even quad core is rarely needed. But it has a limitation in RAM/NAND flash size. And can't address SD cards >32 GByte.</div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">e) Spend one more GPIO to IrDA in order
to be able to switch off IrDA and RS232 tranceiver at the same time.</font>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div>This is already planned for the GTA04A5 revision.</div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">f) Spend 0 ohms resistors in some power
paths in order to get a chance to find out where a gta04 needlessly drains
power during suspend or poweroff by simply measuring.</font></blockquote><div><br></div>Good idea!</div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">g) Add a DVB-T receiver. ;-)))</font>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div>Why not?
