For example: 8) Staying in touch directly with the community from my OpenMoko phone in a year using an expensive GPRS connection: - E-Mail: Loading everything via POP3 or even better compressed UUCP on my phone, reading with my favorite mail client that suits the display. Uses minimum bandwidth and I can cut the connection after loading mail. Cheap. - Web forum: Suffer with the web browser on a forum design not suitable to the small display. Using tons of bandwidth for every request, staying online all the time. Really expensive. Sebastian
-E-mail: loading hunderts of e-mails with questions that have been discuted at least 300 times and hunderts of flaming e-mails, and maybe dozends of "i need this and that app" e-mails, just to see that there's no kews in the development of the navigation system (the info you where looking for) -Webforum: click on a shortcut in the favorites, log in, jump to category "application development -> navigation system", seeing that there's nothing new, closing the connection. With the support of rss this would be even better: open feedreader, scan through new posts in "application development->navigation system", close feedreader. -- My corner of the web: http://ramsesoriginal.wordpress.com My dream, my world: http://abenu.wordpress.com
