I want to install more software like a webbrowser, but there is not much space left on the flash memory. I found on opensimpad.org that it is possible to upgrade the flash. Is there anybody who has upgraded the simpad to 64 MB flash? Does it work? Where can I get a compatible flash chip for my simpad to upgrade it? burn
