I had chosen the LCD with the touch screen to avoid needing to add a keyboard or keypad. I will check the chip select lines used by the two booster packs. I am guessing that if they conflict, I should be able to modify one of them to use a different GPIO pin.

I have done a bit of reading about the SD card booster pack and am a bit confused. It appears that the software currently can only read from the SC card and cannot write a file or it cannot create a file from scratch on the SD card. Is this true?
Good catch, I didn't even notice that the other one didn't have a touch screen.

One of our design partners also did an SD boosterpack which has a configurable CS pin location so you can avoid having to modify the hardware: http://boardzoo.com/index.php/booste...l#.VUt-PflVgZ4

Regarding the library, I know that PetitFS is a but limiting, but it was written to fit onto very small devices. The AdaFruit library should be compatible however: https://github.com/adafruit/SD
I got the examples to compile after removing the block of code where it wait's for the serial connection to enumerate on the Arduino, but I don't have the hardware on hand to test it. I'll try to snag a Boosterpack from someone around here to give it a whirl.
