yes. i know. :) if its the sdl stuff for webos - then thats doable as its "in the future" a supported mechanism for pre's. if its the fso reverse engineering and making modem etc. work - then thats an anti-vendor port .. and will be of limited value in the long run. as the vendor will never help you - if anyting they will actively thwart you over time. vendors need to support such work and consider at a minimum of adopting it in future for it to be viable. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [email protected] _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
