The opensource software development process is wonderful in its transparency - I think thats where a lot of the frustration about the hardware process is coming from. Your reply email gives no new information about the GTA02. Supply chain delays can delay the product, that makes sense, but surely there is information about what is expected to happen? How about saying what the production plans are? Ive read on this list both October 07 and January 08 as estimated GTA02 completion dates. The readership is left to make their best guess based on essentially rumors. Is it a separate electrical engineering team that is designing the GTA01/02 inside FIC and that is partly why the software devs are in the dark? The GTA01 is in production and its the same story. There has been mention of 'another batch' on Sep 20th, but again no announcements. How about stating 'X GTA01s are available for sale. Y GTA01s are in production with an estimated completion date of Z' and 'On date D1 we expect to stop making new GTA01s and start making GTA02s'. That would be something to chew on, knowing full well that estimates change and surprises happen.

shipped phone questions
What version of openmoko has been flashed to the phones that are shipping? Is there a self-update tool for the base software (kernel, moko libs, etc)? Since the neo1973 will be used in the USA, what is the FCC ID? Thanks, Don ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
