Sure -- this is essentially the PalmOS solution. >This is why I'm not in favor to produce the Neo1973 as fast as possible >- small features make the hardware much more smart. Well... I'm happy to wait a little while for small tweaks, but you're asking for actual circuitry changes. I'm not involved in production, but I've got to think this would add months -- I don't want to wait that long. >Imagine you would like to copy from on mikroSD to another mikroSD >what a pain when you have to reboot and only the rest memmory of >you 64 MB flash...

So if I ever want to copy the contents of my phone to another MicroSD card, I expect to be doing it from a hard drive. > >Hope that I haven't to hack my Neo1973 myself with my solder iron :) Hacker's lunchbox :) _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
