And have a screen that's easily readable. even in the sun and working power management and an easily accessible SD slot and stable software.
The Neo 1973 at the moment has none of these things. IMHO a much better target market would be vertical applications. With the base libraries under LGPL, various software vendors are likely to prefer OpenMoko to old, unsupported WindowsCE crap some of them have to put up with now. In this respect, the GTA02 might yet become a great success - not as huge as the iPhone, but good enough for GTA03 or even 04 to be able to take on the mighty Apple. Oh, and the community needs to remain as enthusiastic and helpful as it is now. Which I beleive is likely. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
