This article (19 September 2006) seems to be already obsolete, look at this one (4 January 2007): http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=114723&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=946694&highlight= or this one (unfortunately, in French): http://www.netppc.com/shownews.php3?n=1314 It would seem that problem is resolved :-) Regards, _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
