Same problem affects both of these suggestions - the microSD is located inside the phone battery compartment, under the battery. There's likely no room for ANYTHING unless you snake some flextrace or wires around the body of the battery. >> 2.) we have yet to see an open sdio driver for linux > A use for SDIO with linux could push the driver development > (the same for the SDIO cards like bluetooth or wi-fi) There's been a use for SDIO with linux. Several handhelds with SD slots either ship with or can support linux. The Zaurus for example. http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS9692674403.html - A company in India has ported their proprietary SDIO linux stack to the factory Zaurus distro. (EmbWise's SDIOWorx) But nothing GPL - the SDIO specification is still too tightly controlled/licensed/restricted. j _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community
