A while ago, Andrew Cowan found a nifty 128 x 64 graphic display with RGB backlight, see this thread...http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=10786
For anyone with one of these who wishes to drive it from the GLIC chip that Rev-Ed supplies, it should be noted that the pin-outs are different to the Rev-Ed supplied graphic displays, but more importantly, the 'chip select' (CS1 and CS2) signals require 'inverting' for correct operation. I used two old BC107s that i had lying around.
I havent tackled the touch screen yet and probably won't, at least not for a long time, but the RGB backlight opens up numerous avenues...
