C3 platform expansion modules

I want to get an idea as to where the C3 is heading, in terms of expansion. I like the concept of the C3, a ready to use platform, not a kit. I also like the GG Propeller Platform USB, if it had similar capabilities as a C3, in an expansion module, I would be having trouble deciding on which one to continue with. So. who has what, if anything coming up in the near future? For the C3, since the title calls for it.

Thanks
Ray

    The C3 is the next reference platform, so as far as I know the idea of this product was to give customers a fixed, complete system to do everything with, not a kit, and anything it doesn't have you can add with add on boards.

    Thus, I would say focus your energy on the C3, it will be the most complex feature packed Propeller 1 board for a long while.

    The C3 expansion module should have a mouse port, joystick port and Wifi.
    Then we can start writing code for a html browser.

    The C3 and Propeller Platform serve different purposes - the PPUSB is primarily designed for flexibility and expansion, all I/O are available for projects. The C3 is more application specific. I think both are useful, just depends on what you're looking for.

    I was thinking, an expansion module that would have a mouse port, RTC, for a minimum. Even with that, it would reduce the amount of available pins, quite a bit. So, I guess this is still leading toward, wait for the Prop II, and see what that has to offer. In the mean time, just piddle around, to kill some time.
