I have to agree; when the phone hits mass availability, the average user (assuming mass adoption) will be in windows. That would effectively make it just another phone to them. I guess I just assumed the linux apps were being written to be easily portable when the time comes.
I haven't looked at the Linux host apps at all , but as long as they are gtk based it might not be too painful. We might also bundle it with the required cygwin dlls, but personally I hate that solution. There may also need to be some driver work, does anyone know if it will show up as a mass storage device to windows? On 7/12/07, Bryce Leo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hey all, I have a feeling that most of us on this list don't use Windows, unless at jobs or because of a spouse, but is anyone planning on making any desktop oriented software for Syncing and backup on the MS side of things? This phone is a geeks dream come true, but it is also aimed at Moms and Dads, who are probably going to be working on windows boxes and they need to be taken care of. I've made a post like this before and it's certainly possible to have the neo sync with windows but I haven't seen any solid commitments to build a windows client. Was anyone else planning on this? Has anyone else been worried about the lack of one deterring consumer acceptance? I'd really like to start a decent discussion on this and I haven't had any luck on finding a wiki article. So what are your thoughts? Bryce
