I have completed a couple projects with the Arduino including a simple kegbot (reading from a flow meter, displaying info on a character based LCD, and hitting a server through eathernet)
Where do I go from here? I want to upgrade my project and move it off of the Arduino.
For my new project I want to do the same things, except that I want to replace the single, character based LCD with 3 separate graphical LCDs. The microcontroller's responsibilities will be:
One of the issues I had with Arduino is the lack of multi-threading. When I sent a request to a server and waited for a response, the UI had to wait as well.
I found this LCD that looks like it will work well for my purposes. What do you think? How do I connect its parallel 24bit interface with the microcontroller?
Don't feel link you have to answer yourself; If you know of some good links, throw them at me!
Thanks,

For my new project I want to do the same things, except that I want to replace the single, character based LCD with 3 separate graphical LCDs. The microcontroller's responsibilities will be:
- Reading input from two flow meters
- Displaying an image to LCD 1, 2, and 3
- POST data to a web server
