Uh… comparing the HAM-E to the FireCracker is more like different flavors of Apples, at least for the "stock" version of the FireCracker. The HAM-E is a great deal faster than the FireCracker, from what I have heard so far – though (I would think) the FireCracker times may have been render times… ??? The FireCracker is what – 512×480, compared to 384×480 and soon to be 768×480 for a HAM-E… We do render in an 18 bit space, but we dither to 24 bits accuracy. You have to see what that accomplishes to really get an idea, but obviously, it extends the resolution. It turns out that you can extend all the way to 24 bits – and the dither (being in 18 bit pixels) is too subtle to see without nailing your eye to a monitor with the contrast turned all the way up. A good HAM-E pix is quite something to see. Another thing is that the HAM-E is able to use a good deal of the current technology; we can do std ANIM type animations, color cycling, page flipping animations – all those things that are either extremely rough or impossible for the FireCracker. Now the price… :^) Well, there, you have crabapples and mandarin oranges. :^)))) Ben Amateur Radio Callsign is A A 7 A S
