Yes, I would be interested in paying for car navigation software to run on the OpenMoko. For reference, TomTom Navigator 6 for PDAs with maps for western europe on DVD is around EUR 110 (US $150) TomTom Go is Linux based, perhaps you can get them to offer their product for the OpenMoko? I would be very interested in a solution for the OpenMoko at that price range. -Sven _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
