I think that the Neo1973 is both a phone and a portable handheld

personally been interested in this whole thing for. I'd like to think
of the OpenMoko device as an extension of myself into the world of
electronic devices. My own interface with the world ... until such
time as we can get wetware to do brain-computer interfaces, ;).

Me too. I want to use the moko to control a media center PC that is
connected to my stereo, for queuing up audio files and etc. My PC
uses a video projector for the monitor and turning on the projector is
too much trouble just for queuing up audio. Leaving the projector on
uses up the bulb life too. I wonder if one of the linux based media
center apps like mythTV would work for this? A custom remote control
app for the moko would be best, but a web browser interface would be
fine too.
MythTV can be adapted to just about anything that you can think of.
I'll be the first to say that it is more difficult to get setup
initially (compared to a Windows Media Center), but once you've got it
up and running then you've just begun to scratch the surface of what all
it can do.
MythTV does have a web-interface. Depending on what all you are wanting
to do, it is possible that what you are wanting is already available,
and the Neo's built-in browser could probably handle all of the
controls. If not, then both are open-sourced and you could throw
something together to fit your needs.
Hope that helps,
Jonathon
