I think your list could be filtered by three main categories (for wiki purposes): 1) Neo1973 Application Ideas - anything which can run on the out-of-box device according to the preliminary spec. * Geolocation based services * Encryption/Privacy/Security * Contact Management * PC Connectivity (home/office) * Sound * Video 2) Neo1973 Hardware Hacking - ideas which would require physical modification or adaptation (including USB devices) to the Neo1973. 3) Neoxxxx - Wishlist Ideas - software/hardware ideas requiring features potentially available in a future model (wifi, bluetooth, accelerometers, three buttons, etc). I'm most interested in what I can do with the first category. There is some cross-over between #2+#3, but the rule of thumb would be - if you have no idea about the technical details, stick it in wishlist instead. Once the categories have been decided upon, and the wiki set up.. I have a bunch of time this weekend I could volunteer towards migrating Bens list to the wiki. Cheers, Richard
Please add peripherals. I'm a hardware hacker, and especially interested in rapid prototyping and low-tech interfacing. One of the reasons I was so excited to see USB host support is the availability USB to analog and digital IO interfaces. Using off-the-shelf components to prototype, I can imagine a small front end that would allow me to use my phone as a multimeter and slow oscilloscope. Or an Ethernet network analyzer/sniffer and cable tester. Or for connecting to the debug port for my robots (without having to drag out the laptop). _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community
