I think we should create a To-Do list or a Wish List, so we can track the sort of features that would be nice to have in the phone. I think we should model this on http://www.neurosaudio.com/

I don't think that you have to fear that you will not be able to get one of the first phones - I'm quite shure that being activ on this list with good ideas - and maybe already writing some solutions count much more that to be the first in a pre-order-db. And the most of you should know the vapur-ware filewarker http://www.invair.de/ The have taken down their "order now for the first release" but I have big concerns when I such "Order now" pages for inovative products... ;) Release date I'm happy that Sean and FIC does not anounce a fixed date let us give them the freedom other device-projects does not have - to take as much time as possible. I would not worry when it will be April or later :) See how much of the first design of a IBM-PC or a Personal PalmPilot is still used today. Some small inexpensive or cost less improvements could make the product much more stable or better usable: the last 5-10% perfectness where commercial developers nearly never have the time for - because there is the expo or the christmas-business for what the device must be ready for... And when the first devices are out, you can create a second generation with e.g. wifi, powered USB or USB2 - but smaller changings that change the way to programm or to use the device screen resolution, the way your touch screen work - power saving (no good examples..) are not so good to do. See how similar the layout of the PalmPilots has been - as far as I know all hacks and programms could be run without modification till PalmOS 5.0 So I would love to see enough time for the developers to get full sleep and a free weekend and come back to add some "nice to have" instead of solving "must have" tasks - care about battery loading (maybe a small capacitor..) it could help also that data in RAM is not lost when the power was interrupted. I saw a Windows PDA at my friends desk - oh - new? He said - no, a borrowed PDA with navigation - but I have lost all data in RAM because of power and now I can't use the navigation, because I haven't the registration key and my partner can't find it now... Palm Pilots have a reset - but no function to split the RAM and reset only the system and try to recover parts of the data. Being on the road and being lost when your mobile device lost it's data is not realy smart. So I found it important, that the Neo1973 could work even without battery, just usb-powered. - make sound quality even better with a better shielding or more nf(1-40.000 Hz) clean power supply for the audio part - adding an audio in jack - some sensors - little power for the USB to use USB Memory sicks (and other people MP3-stick) without USB power supply - more nice things which the Neo1973 developers would start think about when they have the freedom to do it Ok it must not to much time - but Sean, when your team deside the hardware design of the Neo1973 is ready, go to ask your team - how would you design it, when you would have your ideas and knowledge form the beginning? - what would you like to add for a second version - what would you like to add to the first version, when we take 2 or 4 more weeks? :) So I'm very happy that the first version will have BT :)))))))))) Which kind of BT - version, class? And can somebody explain me if the chip/hardware could limit the BT software/profile power, or would be everything possible? like: - stereo audio streaming (possible to or from the NEO?) - multiple profiles simultanius? using BT keyboard and BT headset at the same time?
