As I am too afraid of breaking the openmoko i won't change the capacitor myself...but what could I do? build/buy an external amplifier(will it work fine?) or find a place where they could remplace me the capacitor? I wanted to remplace my old ogg player with the openmoko...because my old ogg player is(pma430): *not powerfull enough to decode all the internet radios(such as mms://) *has a lot of bugs(the port of mplayer is buggy on it,and the default audio player too) *can't be easely programmed to make a usefull(quick and dirty) player...because there is an old qtopia,python hasn't the gtk library,mplayer is buggy etc...so making a player is out of my capacity...
So I Thought buying the openmoko that I could also use it as a ogg/radio player...but without headphones...I can't listen to it in the metro... _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
