Too few details (mainly is the cpu arm11 or cortex a8, but also price, availability, battery size...). Also, I would be happier with a few more buttons.

600Mhz with 256 Ram .. Looks like Cortex8.?

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

Well, knowing next to nothing, I'll say this: I sure like it's apparent screen-size/housing-size ratio.

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

i agree... hope it's not just the render haha

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

I still want to see one with a 9" or 10" screen. Especially if they've got Ubuntu doing sensible touch screen rotation.

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

i cant think of many ARM11's that clock to 600, but that seems to be the typical low point of cortex-a8 variants...

still, lets just say i am more interested in this then archos right now ;)

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

Wow. Didn't see that coming.

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

better get in contact with them and see if they want a mer port for it, no? ;)

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

The one in the SmartQ5/7 does.

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

indeed it does, it seems i may have to read up a bit on those samsung cores...

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

Off the top of my head, weren't the original smartq-s 667mhz and ddr1 memory ?

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

Nono. It's 'can we have a couple for development purposes'..
:P

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

i'm a geek, what do i know pf diplomacy? ;)

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

As far as I can tell, the RK2808 has an arm9 core running at 600MHz.

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

Reply to questions about the hardware from the only contact info I was given after tryin to call and speak to someone at Smartdevices.

"Sorry, now we(sales department) have no information about the CPU of SmartQ V5/7."

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

Apparently it's a 600MHz ARM11 augmented with some funky DSP/IVA decoder for HD video (Some Telechips ? Tegra APX2500 ? Haven't seen Samsungs/Freescales/TI with such specs).

EDIT: Yes, pretty much only the Telechips TCC8900 fits the bill...

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

Well, looks like V7 is there too...
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.31523

Looks stylish, I wonder if it actually works.

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

so V5 has a samsung processor? Interesting...

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

Nice Pictures of Internals here


What intrigues me is the image showing the Telechips TCC8902 CPU and the Samsung DDR RAM. The Samsung Part number shows up as a 1GB DDR2-800 DRAM. The specs for the device is listed at 256 DDR2 RAM, so am confused.

Re: SmartDevices V Series 5/7
 

It is 1 Gbit, and there are two of this.

Th interesting question is - what part of the TCC 8900 has Linux drivers and which of them are free - 2D, 3D, video accel.
