Wow! That small layout is very impressive. Are you
planning to try building it all on one half euro
size board?

I have been working for years on squishing PCs (and
various peripherals) into small places for mobility.
My measuring stick for all mobile hardware is size,
weight, bulk, and power consumption. I will soon be
replacing these PCs with SA-1110 for this reason,
it's smaller, and it runs lean at 206Mhz. My ultimate
goal will be to combine an SA-1110 board (like LART)
with the OpenEEG, and eventually add support for
gsr,temp,pvr,and emg. I will also be using gps to
time/date/location stamp the data, and grab video
of various events. Eventually I will make some kind
multimedia player that allows me to view all of this
data in interesting ways.

If you find a way to fit this whole thing on one
half euro size board, I'm willing to pay you to make
me one in that size. Let me know what it's worth to
you. Size matters a lot to me because I want to do
continuous monitoring, so I will be lugging this
hardware around everywhere. But I'm not very good at
soldering and I think I would struggle with SMD parts.
I'm much more adept at compiling code. Let me know if
I can hire you to build me a small one.
