It is. USB is specified for 0.5 A @ 5V (^= 2.5 W) With 0.4 A @ 5V you'll be at about 2 W which is more than enough to run the Neo with all devices powered (display, gps, gsm, wifi) and even enough to load it while it's running (although this might be slower than USB). However, you should make sure this power converter has some big capacitors to make sure you get a constant supply - otherwise it's not good for your battery on long term. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
