Something comparable to an Arduino Due could probably handle it just fine (though without the many mega/gigabytes of program space that the iPhone version affords you).

The LPC1115 ARM micro-controller used in the DM-41L only has 64KB of Flash and 8KB or RAM. I would have thought porting Free42 to that controller may not be possible. I wonder if they are using a different controller for the upcoming DM-42L?

Yeah, that would definitely be way too tight on memory/storage, though I'm sure the CPU is fast enough.

And you say "upcoming DM-42L" like it's a certainty. Did I miss an announcement? Can I pre-order yet?
