I can understand that the GSM part has to be protected... For hackers could be interesting to have a chance to monitor the GSM modul, e.g. the power consumption to detec some exceptional GSM action - e.g. "silent SMS" detection: "Warning - your mobile is probably tracked with silent SMS". > > I think it will not be possible to do something against "silent SMS"ยน > > but that the mic could be used remotly with the close source GSM chip, > > is something that should be avoidable. > > Will the Neo1973 have a protection that the mic could be disconected > > form the GSM chip when not calling? > > You guys will have control over the mic.

As long as the GSM part is realy one isolated chip/modul, the mic is 100% controlled *only* by the S3C2410 it is (IMHO) fine. BTW I'm not thinking that I'm so interesting that some authorities will listen me - I'm thinking that OpenMoko/Neo1973 will be a trustworthy phone for manager and politicans - the "roving bug" issue is an (other) good argument for them and their ICT departement to choose OpenMoko/Neo1973. ;) Thank you for your feedback and cheers ;) rob BTW: Do you have some more info for us about the audio/soundcard? ;)) stereo(?) audio out, 2,5mm jack, frequency 20(?)-20000(?)Hz stereo(?) audio in(?), 2,5mm jack(?), frequency 20(?)-20000(?)Hz _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
