It's gzip'ed Postscript. Viewers like "gv" can open it directly. If your Postscript viewer doesn't uncompress on the fly, you have to gunzip it first, yes. > Is there any document about what the plan is for the new board?

Details are here: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Gta02-core The goal of this project is not to make the next great phone, but to open the hardware development process. Therefore, we do this with a well-known design so that we can focus on the process and don't have to solve too many problems at the same time. Also, Openmoko Inc. has generously offered to donate some GTA02 components, which will solve the sourcing problem. And this is one more reason for staying very close to the GTA02 design. The output of gta02-core will only be a few prototypes. The number will be largely determined by how many components we can get from Openmoko Inc. and also how many people will be interested in having such a prototype. Having said all this, gta02-core should only be the first step towards a real product. I can envision many improvements and even quite radical changes that could be made based on the experience we gather with gta02-core and the tools we develop for it. Also, having completed a successful prototype run will give us more credibility for follow-on projects, which will help with sourcing. - Werner _______________________________________________ hardware mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/hardware
