RC discussion

• Comments/hints
• PSP not an option due to platform limitations
• Java should work on PocketPC
• everything needs to be developed from scratch
• limited environment on PocketPC higher
  development effort
• VNC like solution with Flash on HiFI system
• Limited functionality on RC, full GUI on HiFi
• Proposed solution
• Continue with Flash 6/touch screen based
  development
• Run full featured GUI on HiFi or Laptop/PC
• Investigate on VNC like solution with different
  PDA hardware in parallel (Ircam ?)
