Hi
I am about to embark on a project to develop a small handheld device with a 3" LCD screen. The only things the device needs to do are:
1) pop up a menu structure when a "menu' button is pressed 2) allow navigation of the menu with up, down left and right buttons 3) allow a menu item to be selected with a select button 4) Once selected the item will be linked to a 'page' of information which will be retrieved from flash RAM and displayed on the LCD screen 5) The information is made up of basic text (limited fonts) and small images, so it needs to be laid out in some form, e.g. possible using a small subset of HTML 6) Scrolling up and down through the info must be possible and the select button must be able to be pushed on a link which will call up another page of informationI thought I may be able to take an existing flash-based PMP/MP4 type device and re-program it to accommodate this need, but I'm being told that the requirement for formatted text and image means that none of these products are suitable.
So I'm looking for suggestions for an embedded OS that would support my requirement, any ideas on existing devices (no PDAs, they're too expensive for the requirement) that might support such an OS and, any other wisdom from the group.
Thanks Cliff
