yes, i do lots of osm work around my city. i find the neo is hopeless for anything other than getting gps traces, cos it's so slow to type, compared to a physical multitap on my old phone i haven't tried it, but you could have a go at running josm on the neo - it has support for synchronised audio tagging. what's the java situation like on om phones? _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
