Hello TinyCircuits Team,
I saw the incredible color mod that AncientJames created for the Original Thumby (Topic: https://forum.tinycircuits.com/index.php?topic=11412.0). It's a fantastic proof of concept for a feature everyone wants: a color screen in the super-tiny, key-chain size of the original device.
While the existing Thumby Color is great, we'd love to see a new version, perhaps called Thumby 2 or Thumby Color 2, that retains the pocket-sized form factor of the original.
My official product request is for an updated, miniature device with two major upgrades:
1. A Color Screen (like the successful community mod).
2. Increased RAM: The original Thumby's RAM is a well-known limitation for larger or more complex games. Doubling or significantly increasing the RAM would allow for much more ambitious projects—like running a fully featured color version of Doom!
An official product with the original small size, a color screen, and more RAM would be an absolute hit! Please consider this next-generation upgrade!
Thank you for considering this idea.

That's a pretty good and reasonable idea!
