I really don't understand you people. Instead of being happy that FIC sells their phones with a workable app stack so that you can actually use the phone to make phone calls and manage your contacts you rant here about toolkits although many people have made it very clear that OM supports GTK as well as QT.
And we are talking about factory preload here, meaning the SW that comes with the phone out of the box when it is shipped to you. I expect to get a working SW stack to make phone calls, write SMS, manage contacts when I get the phone. However that does not mean that I will not change the SW that is on the phone - that's what the openness of OM is all about then anyway, right? As the phone is completely open you can install whatever SW you prefer. AFAIK the "old" GTK based apps still exist and you can continue to work on them to make them work without problems. Go and be a member of the community and make these apps work if you care about them instead of just mourning about their absence in the initial factory preload. IMHO it is the right decision from FIC (who actually produce the NEO) to sell it with a working SW stack, so that all the people who are not programmers get a working phone once the shop opens. Do you really think people would appreciate a phone that does not even provide reliable basic functionality. And if you doubt that the "old" GTK app stack still does not provide reliable basic functionality just go and read the mailing list or bugzilla. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
