tomtom on the Neo1973
Hello, i follow the deployment of the Neo1973 and Openmoko since they become public. I have discussed with a few others on the IRC, about the Idea to use tomtom on the Neo1973. I think it will be very cool :) I had no problem to pay money for a good software and rich in detail maps. It is hard work to create good maps (see http://www.openstreetmap.org). When many people want to use tomtom on the Neo1973, it would be a good precondition to assure tomtom from this idea to sell tomtom for the Openmoko platform. tomtom devices already run under linux, so i think it will not so hard to port it on Openmoko. My question is now = How we should ask tomtom? I think it will good when a company or the intern developer of openmoko can ask. Beside the company, all interested can ask tomtom. So they can see that we would run tomtom on openmoko :) I hope that i'am not the only one who would run tomtom on the Neo1973 ;) Greats Patrick Beck ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

It is hard work to create good maps (see http://www.openstreetmap.org).

I think tomtom should be optional in addition to openstreetmap. Openstreetmap should not be replaced, and it should be easy to update openstreetmap. We could make some nice UI for that. But people have different needs; and for those that need detailed maps and can afford it, maybe tomtom is better. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: VoIP call transfer?
That's good to know. I wasn't suggesting that we use skype that's just the first example that came to mind. Thanks for the info I will stay away from skype.

Hamrick: From an application perspective, I have a contact at eBay labs who's been pressuring the Skype team to release an ARM/Linux binary. Just my 0.02 EUR at this: Skype is everything that the Neo is not. It is the definition of closed-source, proprietory software. It does ghastly things (google for Silver Needle in the Skype by Philippe Biondi and Fabrice Desclaux) and a lot of open source developers in their right minds would probably refuse to support Skype. And it is controlled by a single vendor under US jurisdiction, which in these days precludes from using it for anything that might be business confidential. My intuition tells me that it should be possible to set up this functionality purely with open protocols/software and/or a local provider that you can at least remotely trust. IMHO all Neo VoIP work should turn away from Skype and focus on SIP/IAX/H.323. -- Henryk Plötz Grüße aus Berlin ~ Help Microsoft fight software piracy: Give Linux to a friend today! ~ ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
