That's to simple saying some/other advantages; the key point is that with a capacitive touch screens we will loose the possibility to control this as any other X11 server, i.e. being able to point and click nearly to a single pixel, or at least select a very small square of 2x2 pixels; this will change the FR from the hacker toy it is now, to just another stupid mobile phone like an iPod or Nokia one; and we will not have anymore a small Linux desktop in our pockets; of course it stays Linux and I can SSH to it, put not always I have another laptop or my eeePC with me; I think OpenMoko should keep that in mind; it would be a big change in a wrong direction; matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <matthias.ap...@oclc.org> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
