Hey guys, you're missing the point. You need to stop thinking of the
openmoko device being a standalone unit, you are always connected to
your pc when in mobile phone coverage.
Just use your gprs data link.
Start thinking of the Neo as a portable 'viewer' to applications running
on standalone servers then you'll start seeing location is irrelevant.
No, it's not.
Absolutely not.
No way.
With most UK contracts and pay to talk deals, I get a whole megabyte a
month free!
I need to pay around $80(US) per month or so for unlimited GPRS data.
The cheapest 'pay as you go' sort of data tarrifs are around $6/meg, and
that requires a contract.
And in many buildings, I don't get a signal.
If it possibly can be done, applications should live on the phone,
perhaps 'growing' if they can get connectivity.
Connectivity can be anything from GPRS, to SMS, to walking by a wifi
access point that you have access to, to USB-net.
