:) :) :) VERY GOOD idea!!! :) Ok, this one will work for sure, I'll keep an eye on it. Having a 1.Xmm coax power connector on the outside to allow for everyday regular use with *very* usual off-the-shelf power adapters is a different thing, that's to be decided upon by product *design* (Sean_M-P in the end?). I like the idea, but seems there's not much support from anybody else. Nevermind. /jOERG _______________________________________________ hardware mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/hardware
