Juicebox LCD

Hey all,
It's kind of old by now (couple of years), but has anyone·here interfaced the prop (or anything else) to the JuiceBox?

I noticed a ref to it when checking out the ybox.

Making a·digital photo·picture frame (heck keeping it intact) sounds kind of boring to me, but the LCD

might be good for other stuff. eh maybe the other parts may be put to use to?
Just need to find the info on the controller for that LCD.

I do wonder if it is related to the TV-Now. The TV-now was itself a stripped-down version of the VuGO, and after the TV-Now model I bought on clearance for $25, another one came out which is smaller, but not as small as the Juice Box. Mattel has a habit of taking this same product (personal video player) and repackaging it over and over. In their defense, it gets smaller and lighter every time. But it must not be doing so well, otherwise it wouldn't go on clearance a couple months after each release!

Well whatever else you can get 6 for $25:

Dennis,
yeah.. there flying off the shelves.. onto other shelves..·

Graham, good find!· 6 for 25$· Not to shabby..
~5 bucks for a tiny color LCD avec misc parts (if it turns out to be usable)

I put in a request for more info from http://www.giantplus.com.tw, we'll see if they respond.
This whole·thing might·turn out to be a·huge pain in the Smile, but maybe not. Might be a really cool thing.
Cheers to anyone who can·find the specs!
