Yeah - I looked at G4 - it does about 25%
to 50% better compression on pictures
that look like PCBs.

I was however planning on using an atmel
with only 8K of ram.

If I had to put any external chips on
the thing to make it meet the specs I
will probably just say bugger it.  Get
an ARM, put oddles of RAM run *nix on
it and FTP the file stragiht to it.

When the cat (or goat) gets too big to
skin wih a knife - you resort to high
explosives.
