I'm subscribed for this this thread for about 6m now. I don't want to
be rude but:
why so long? you must be interested or you would have long since left
1/ 99% of this thread is about an unrealistic things to be
why are they unrealistic? think big
implemented on a non existent (underpowered) device. Who in the World
non-existent? lots of hardware units around - sun has one, they think
it's useful/important. developers have them. it's a step. we've seen
hardware revs already. there will be more. openmoko isn't limited to
neo, it will expand
cares about things being discussed in this thread? People wants to
me. lots of others
use their pones, to make calls, send sms/mms/emails. I'm being tired
to read over and over about these obscure requirements and ideas
couldn't give a monkey's how obscure it it. you want to do what
mainstream does, fine. i want to do this stuff. i like doing it in
itself, and it's useful to me as well. freedom to tinker
posted here. Animations like on an iPod? Buy an iPod!
no. too expensive. too closed. unreliable. apple and their users are
smug gits. can do better
2/ I believe we are going to be a victims of a huge manipulation.
maybe. i'm after a product. if i have to jump through hoops, that's
fine as long as i think the steps are worthwhile
There is a company like FIC. There are some adventures like Sean who
are looking for their fortune. What's the way? To offer to companies
like FIC a product like Neo with reduced costs. Why the costs are
reduced? It's simple. There is bunch of people around the globe
waiting to spare their time to help. You just have to pretend to be
one of them....
how are they pretending? they've been a lot more open than most phone
manufacturers?
they're smart - give a little, take a little. sharing
3/ As you can see, the 'openness' of this project is at least in
some of it, possibly. do not judge all of it on recent happenings. i'm
confident sean will give more details when they pass the current
roadblock
question. As time goes by, there is more blah blah then some concrete
information. There are some vague information about GTA1/GTA2 but
overall, the entropy is going to 0.
not vague. we know the new proc, the accelerometer details, wireless
chipset and some other stuff. more will come out, i would expect it to
be incremental. see the bigger picture
