As already suggested by me[1], you also could go the other way and adapt the PCB shape (plus a few circuit addons like hw matrix kb) to fit into a widely available convenient existing case, more convenient and available than Openmoko shower-radio housing. Think N900 [2]. I know for sure there's a (comparatively) huge community interested in such device with true hw kbd and resistive touchscreen, even more so when the platform inside is so close to original maemo platform [3] that even porting maemo to gta04 gets into vicinity. cheers jOERG [1] http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.maemo.community/5428 [2] http://www.ebay.com/bhp/nokia-n900-housing [3] http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_Schematic -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments (alas the above page got scrapped due to resignation(!!), so here some supplementary links:) http://www.georgedillon.com/web/html_email_is_evil.shtml http://www.nonhtmlmail.org/campaign.html http://www.georgedillon.com/web/html_email_is_evil_still.shtml http://www.gerstbach.at/2004/ascii/ (German)
