Basically, a laser pointer, which is bound to be a very weak device,
is very far from dangerous. It might be able to hurt the eyes of some
persons, but I doubt it. It might be able to raise the temperature of
your eye by a degree. It might have negative effects on very small
children, but well, these could also choke and die on any pointer.
Guess we need to design a phone without small parts.

Basically, despite the offical rules governing use of lasers, most
people in the field don't take it that serious. 

Just to make it CRYSTAL CLEAR. This rant applies to red diode lasers,
in the 650nm wavelength range with powers 5mW (which are usually used
for pointers). There are enough lasers that one can use to hurt
himself. Just not the typical laser pointers.

Well, you'll be shocked, I've been raised in a home where lasers were

Another shocking thing, you know, some projectors used by people for

Re: OpenMoko - SoC--- is there a mentor?

2007-03-26 Thread Jonathon Suggs



 please fell free to comment...
I've only loosely followed this conversation, so please forgive any 
oversights or re-hashes.  However I did notice two things 1) Google 
Summer of Code 2) Finger Splash application


So, here is my input.  Google wants *high quality* projects that will 
hopefully have far reaching benefits.  So, instead of bickering over 
minor details that are hard to come to a deterministic conclusion via 
email.  Why not write the proposal for something along the lines of 
advanced input system for mobile devices.  Part of the proposal could 
be to do some research on the most common letter sequences and 
incorporate that into the design.  Think different languages and a 
pluggable expandable architecture.  Think possibly shortcuts to common 
words.  Think predictive text.  THINK!  Instead of trying to hit the 
nail on the head before you even get your hands dirty, why not take all 
of the ideas and develop prototypes, then see how they stack up in the 
real world with real people (ie different thumb sizes).


Bottom line, think BIG.  Make this project something that Google will 
notice.  Make it something so that text input on a mobile device (an 
area that is HUGELY lacking) takes a HUGE step forward.  Having 
something like that would bring great publicity to the OpenMoko platoform.

Re: Audio quality and libsamplerate...

2007-03-26 Thread Christian F.K. Schaller
Hi,
I think that on the topic of resampling OpenMoko should probably look
towards the code that Jean-Marc Valin recently wrote for ALSA instead of
going with libsamplerate. The reason for this is simply that Jean-Marc
Valin code is licensed under the BSD/LGPL license instead of the GPL and
thus keeping the OpenMoko platform more open.

Christian-

I'm not familiar with Valin's code. Have listening quality tests been 
performed between it and samplerate-best? Is it a library like samplerate 
best or something that's being considered for inclusion in the alsa core? 
Considering that the kernel is GPL I don't think the concern should be 
focused on the 'most open' solution but instead the 'highest quality 
solution' with a minimum openness of GPL/LGPL.

Re: Flash Player 9 on OpenMoko?

2007-03-26 Thread Dominik Smogór

 I'm happy to be associated with a project that wants to be able to
 tinker with even the tinest little part of every bit of the code.
 This goes hand in hand with open standards.  No one will stop you from
 loading whatever plugins become available.  But I for one don't want
 to pay the Adobe tax to cause those plugins to be written.
 
 Hank does effectively point out how user demand for compatibility will
 be a significant hurdle to widespread phase 2 adoption.
 
 Eagerly awaiting phase 1,
 -erik
 
This effectively leads the distro developement to the free/premium split that
most linux distros encounter. Free distro for the tinkers and for pay one for
the ones that find lack of defacto standards (flash+gps vector maps+windows
media...) support crippling the device. I believe the second group is major part
of phase3 target. The major question is will the price of the second option be
still competitive to what other companies will have released by sept.

E-mail style voicemail.

2007-03-26 Thread mathew davis

All,

I have some questions I hope people could help with.  I couldn't help but
notice that the iphone(sorry for the swear word) used a e-mail type
interface for viewing voice mails.  That feature looks very interesting to
me.  Now I am sure they have that pattented but does anybody know what about
it they pattented?  I was thinking about this, as I would like to have it on
the Neo as I will buy one, what if this was on the neo also.  So I got to
thinking how one could do this and I came up with an idea.  So here is my
idea and please tell me if it's stupid and why, it's already been pattented,
or that's a good idea here is how you could improve on it.

First instead of routing the call to the service providers voice mail after
so many calls, have it get routed to the neo's onboard voice mail system.
This system could record the audio save it and add an e-mail like layer to
it like, SuchAndSuch person called @ 9:30 pm 03/26/07 1 min 23 sec for
example.  It could then save them on the phone.  Now I know this is kind of
memory expensive so I thought of some other alternatives to this also.  If
you want the advanced feature of listening to the calls in whatever order
you heard them in then you would have to save them on the phone it's self or
upload the audio samples to a webserver of some sort and when connected you
could listen to them in what ever order.  Another approach if the person
didn't want the wasted space could still see the messages in a e-mail type
invironment but couldn't listen to the messages in what ever order for the
neo after recording when the call was made by who and finishes recording the
message could then route the call to the service providers voice mail and
send it the recorded message.

Now I don't know difficult this would be.  And I can't say that I am
experianced enough with this, although I would like to be, to impliment it
myself.  I just thought I could post my idea to the community to try and add
my $0.02 to help better the community.  Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Matt

Re: E-mail style voicemail.

2007-03-26 Thread Matthew S. Hamrick

Hey Matthew.

My understanding is that Wildfire had an interface vaguely like this  
in the 90's, and at least one Canon voice-mail / desktop mash-up  
device had a voice-mail system where entries were presented as a list  
on a screen. So I would be real surprised if Apple tried to patent  
the concept of listing voice-mails the same way email clients list  
email messages.


The main problem with the approach you outline here is that if the  
phone is turned off or out of the cell service, you couldn't connect  
with the on-board anything. But it's a great idea for do not  
disturb behavior.


I came up with something conceptually similar... I live in the  
sticks, so I don't have mobile service at my house. As I drive into  
the office, I have intermittent service. I had really bad service in  
my old office building so I came up with the following solution.


1. Forward cell calls to my asterisk box.
2. If my SIP phone isn't registered or I don't answer, take a message.
3. Send a SMS message to my phone that's intercepted by the voice  
mail app.
4. When the voice mail app receives the SMS message, it establishes a  
net connection to my asterisk box and downloads the message to my phone.


One of the things I like about programmable phones is it allows the  
device to become a 1st class peer. That is, it's not longer  
dependent on a server for data operations. So if you have the DND (Do  
Not Disturb) mode activated, maybe the phone could take a message and  
forward it to the server. Then you would have the message right there  
on the phone, and it would be made available on the server as well.


The reason I like to have voice mail on a server is:
a. I can archive the messages.
b. I can annotate the messages via a PC. i.e. - I'm using the nice,  
comfortable keyboard on the PC.

c. I can access my voice mail with a web interface, if I want.

But a couple reasons why you might prefer the server to take the  
message and forward it to the phone...
a. you're going to burn minutes on the oncoming call (but I guess  
this isn't an issue outside the US.)
b. the call quality might be better when you're connecting to the  
server on the other end of  a land-line.


But.. I think it's a great option for DND. Implementing it shouldn't  
be too big of a hassle.

Hi Mathew,

I think once OpenMoko becomes more prevalent I think you'll find there
are a number of hosted asterisk related applications that are released
for Neo handset users.

I've already spoken with a few people interested in developing mixed
mobile/fixed line voice driven applications for both communities.

 

A smarter voicemail system than what is currently provided by your
carrier is just one of them.
