Eloquently put, wifi does open up many more exciting possibilities but honestly, I want the first-gen model in my pocket.. wifi or no wifi. Assuming I can find a decent GPRS data provider, any additional queued service/comms stack that needs to be written should become more robust as a result of dealing with intermittent connections anyway - bonus! ;-) Richard _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community
