For some time now I've been meaning to get a development board for the FT800 EVE Display engine from FTDI to play with but have yet to get around to it. As I don't really have an application in mind it would probably be yet another board lying on the shelf gathering dust....

Anyway, MikroE has a nice board with the FT800, a 480x272 colour TFT display and resistive touch. Might be worth looking into.

Another option might be their SmartGLCD board. I've got one of those and did start a project coding some graphics routines for it, something I kind of sucked at...so now it too is gathering dust... :-)
