Hi Lorn, Couldn't let that go, they are increasing rapidly - here are just a few that are used in the University where I work. Although there are open source products in these areas, these commercial ones are big time: Mathematica, Matlab, SAS statistical software, Ansys (Engineering design). regards, clare ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Do anyone use bluetooth headset Neo1973?
Richard It's not a good idea to mix the old audio drivers (btsco, headsetd, a2dpd) with the new (bluetooth in asound.conf). If you want to try a voice headset, the best way is to get python and follow the example on the wiki--this uses only the new driver and should not have the default device set in asound.conf. Right now the voice headset should work with a phone call but I haven't confirmed it (I only have access to the dreaded 3g sim cards) Brad ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Sony Ericsson P990i
To All Hackers (out there), I would like to run OpenMoko in Sony Ericsson P990i. I know this would be possible (think positive). Based on what I've gathered, here's the P990i hardware: CPU: Philips Nexperia PNX4008 RAM: 64Mb NAND 133Mhz SDR SDRAM ROM: 64Mb NAND Flash Screen: 320 x 240 (Touchscreen) InfoLinks: - P990i Info form SE Site - P990i @ wikipedia.org - P990i @ fudzilla.com - Nexperia PNX4008 @ nxp.com Since this P990i with UIQ3 is really buggy, I'm willing for my phone to be a test phone. It's OK for it to get bricked. That's how SE P990i disappointed me. Thank you very much. - Got a little couch potato?

Re: Apple's heavy hand an opportunity for Linuxsmartphones likeOpenMoko
[EMAIL PROTECTED] skrev: This is not about style. This is about optimum human/device interaction form factors. It is the size and shape and layout of the iPhone that strongly influences the usability of the device. And...And...Who says you can't want style --AND-- freedom? Have not got my Neo jet (hope it's soon), but I think the form factor is good based on earlier use of a touch screen smart phone (Qtech 1010). I think the size and shape will make it fit nicely in one hand and be operated with the same hands thumb. Small (physical) screen reduce the need to stretch Your thumb to reach the whole screen, some space between the phones edge and the screens edge is good as my experience is it's hard to reach to close to the thumb (if you rest the phone natural in the hand). Two-hand operation will more or less always work almost any form factor. But the Q1010 is to big to be a comfortable one-hand device... Belive the Neo to be just right... Then... No size fits all. Anyway, it's too late to start from scratch and be ready in 6 month. Now is time to focus on getting the software and interface good. I'm experimenting with an input method, but right now I'm waiting until I receive my Neo... I really need to test it on a real device to get the feel of it (and hopefullyy the project site's svn is fixed by then). If we succeed at OpenMoko the software platform sure there will be loots of phone using it, from FIC and others, and probably some will use the 'iphone' form factor... Don't worry :-) /LaH ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I second that! - Original Message From: Pius A. Uzamere II [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: List for OpenMoko community discussion community@lists.openmoko.org Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 8:47:03 PM Subject: Re: Apple's heavy hand an opportunity for Linux smartphones likeOpenMoko IMHO, that's just the sort of sentiment that, if embraced by FIC, will guarantee that this phone is not successful. If a phone ships with a closed or otherwise flawed stack, a fix is just a firmware update away. Once you put a crappy form factor into the market, however, you're typically finished in the long term. Remember, your competitors can iterate their software faster than you can iterate your form factor once units are put into production. I want this project to be successful . . . let's not get so idealistic that we lose focus of the realities of the market. In any case, the neo isn't about schnazz, it's about freedom.
