Hi People!
I've been looking at getting a BeagleBoard Rev C (3 or 4), but then I have looked GumStix and noticed that they are using OMAP 35** as well!
Last time I looked they were a piss 400mhz ARM.
They are both similarly priced ($150 each).
Does anyone have a GumStix that they can throw me some Pro's and Con's about?
I'm looking for SIMPLICITY of adding accessories and mostly a touchscreen (CHEAP) LCD.
I am looking at [finally] starting my Bike Computer project.
The GumStix being so tiny would be superb for my trail bike computer, but BB would be find in my road bike.
A video camera (webcam) might be good to install as well, which DSP might be needed for?
I don't actually even know what a DSP is or does... I've just been reading a lot of random forums - which is why I have come for help
Another hurdle for me is that I am on a MacBook and I do not have a serial (I can use USB-SERIAL I guess).

If anyone want's to sell a similar spec'd BeagleBoard or GumStix PM me, please.
