Hi, tis me again. A little bit of forward thinking here. When I first came to OpenMoko it was a mid the torrent of the iPhone hype. I will admit that I was dissolution with the possibility that the multi-touch interface was an easy addition to OpenMoko. With some time to think and study the availability of the technology, I soon realized that my thinking on the matter was quite naive. Maybe I still am naive on the matter, but considering alot of the hard work to get GTA02 off the ground and running, I was thinking that if OpenMoko was considering the possibility of a multi-touch interface seriously maybe it is something that could be found on the next device afterwards (be it the GTA03 or something later). If that is the case, then such an input device will not appear out of thin air. At this point and time what would be realistic, would Openmoko Inc. form a partnership with supplier of the technology, does FIC Group happen to have something inhouse that could be utilized? What are the legal implications and potholes? Etc. Truth is that I love the concept behind the Openmoko phone. A phone that 'I' truly control, not my provider, not the manufacturer (not completely, anyway). A phone that grants me, 'freedom'. If anything, considering what is out there, I would like to more open-idea to establishing that sense of freedom.... so I only offer this chance to brain storm what else we can do to provide that. Here is hoping that I have not let the genie out of the bottle.
Duv P.S.: I apologize in advance for the possibility of this discussion degrading into a flame-fest, that is not my intention. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
