Would it also be useful to add a jack for a standard power supply or things to plug a standard cigarette lightener cable ?

I mean the doc could also to be used in a car. Therefore a well designed voltage regulator could be added to support
a wider range of input voltage.

Also a question: Did anybody know something about KICAD (ecad software) ?

It has support for 3D parts, thus it will probably help to visualize a board design in 3D.

What about the CAD drawings I sometime have posted in BRLCAD format ?

This can be achieved in two phases, first make a stand, than make a dock

As soon as

is available (as in for sale by some one), the stand can be upgraded to
a dock.

Hmm...

This is all starting to sound surprisingly similar to a 'dock' ...

Here's a question for the USB / Power experts out there:

Assuming such a dock was constructed, that provided a powered USB hub,
is it possible for the Neo to simulatneously

1) run in host usb mode,
2) control a USB peripheral, e.g. keyboard, and also
3) to charge the battery from the powered USB hub

?

I like the idea.

Don't forget to include some place to stick an usb connector : i have a
similar desktop stand for my p990 and it's really useful.

Objet : Re: Neo / FreeRunner 'stand'

I'm planning to make an open hardware design for something
like this and have it manufactured by a 3D printer. Anyone
can have it manufactured at a place like http://www.shapeways.com/

At the moment I'm waiting to get some help to get started,
see

Wouldn't it be great to have a moulded plastic stand that
would just
clip into place on the back of the FreeRunner or Neo1973,
so that you
could rest it on a table in widescreen mode, and have it sit at a
comfortable angle?

Maybe it's a good 'extra' to include int the box for GTA03 :)

Nokia has had a 'desk stand' on their internet tablets
since the N770.
In the mean time, I'm sure I can work out something using a small
triangular piece of wood, crazy glue, a slice from my girlfriend's
yoga mat, and velcro :)
