Wouldn't it be good to see a ZX Spectrum emulator on the T68i? Sure, the Speccy had a resolution of 256 X 192 as opposed to the T68i's 101 x 80, but you know, a bit o' interpolation...

thats not a bad idea.. but i wonder what size (in terms of kilo bytes) the images will come out in and whether the t68 can handle the transfer

48k. That's all the Spectrum had, although more scratchpad memory would be needed to run the emulator, I imagine.

Tell you what, though - I'd love to see a TV tuner add-on for the T68i. Now THAT would certainly be do-able!

lols @ edwardm

Hmm.. a tv tuner, but that would certainly require a spectrum vision and we might have to compromise on other things considering the memory aspect of t68.

Future Sony Ericson phones will let you do java downloads, then you can download specturm classics written in Java...you can do it on new siemens (MT50) and Nokia's (7650) now!

Of course it has a processor. Read the post again and you'll see that I mentioned a Spectrum EMULATOR.
