After reading about the greylist which apparently bounces everyones 
email for a while, I would suggest no unless you are going to whitelist 
all current subscribers and make it only greylist new emailers.

Re: need someone to develop this....

2007-12-03 Thread GWMobile
Although the disclosure itself in a trackable dated message forum would 
seem to prove pretty conclusivly that AT THAT TIME anyway you had the 
idea.

So it dates the idea

As to whether or not it is public well that perhaps depends perhaps on 
the exclusivity of the forum.


Additionally there are many people who you can disclose ideas to without 
it being deemed public. For example within a work organization. Or 
within your lawyer or legal advisors office.

Or within a group of coinventors.

A message forum could easily be a considered most of those even if it 
was not formed for profit or for the benefit of all involved. Indeed 
many work organizations don't benefit all involved.





 However, in practical terms it's more difficult to prove original
 invention once disclosure is made unles you keep a detailed, dated
 notebook (in ink).

Not only could the method of shaking but the timing of shaking could 
have been the key.


Eg hold two devices next to each other and shake them up and down - 
because of the semi-physical connection they would have the same 
accelerometer readings this couldn't be replicated unless you had 
someone 'watching' you move them up and down and was copying the 
movements within the tolerance errors.

 If Bob (or Alice) hands his (or her) phone to the other, then if both
 phones are shaken in the same hand, the acceleration pattern might
 provide an extremely unique yet similar signature, not unlike 
exchanging

 an encryption key.

 So if you want to establish a trusted relationship with another Neo
 user, the two phones are shaken together until the software indicates
 that you have generated a complex enough pattern that has been
 recognized on the other.

Re: google open phone platform

Also people always want choices.
Having goolge out there would draw attention to this concept and have 
4000 times as many people looking for a device.

Some of those will choose neo.

 Yep pretty much.

 There is a time and a window for technology releases like this and 
FIC's

 time has come and gone. I hate to put it bluntly but;

 It's not hard to think about things like an opensource mobile OS's.

 It's not even that hard to convince someone to invest in it.

 It is hard to get out Beta and then retail 1.0 but the really hard 
part

 is being able to invest time and time again in new ideas to be on the
 breaking edge of technology and innovation.

 It was FIC's window 6-8 months ago but now when the industry stalwarts
 are crashing at your door it's time to close up shop, sit on the beach
 and think of the next coolest thing.


It's not gone yet. However it is not uncommon for big companies to try 
and
make a lot off fuss about a non yet existing product, just to create 
enough
anticipation to keep people from moving elswhere. As Microsoft when 
WinFS
will be finished, it was supposed to be in XP, it's still not there in 
Vista.

But all the time it was a reason not to switch to an OS with a better
filesystem, because WinFS was going to deliver that 'Really Soon 
Now(TM)'.
The same thing is happening here, they said handsets will be available 
in

the second half of 2008. That's another 6 months at the very least.
Normally 'the second half of the year' means, we really hope to get it 
done

this year, but we might not be able to make it.
The reason they announce so early is simply to create enough buzz so 
people

will postpone buying a new phone until they are done. If FIC manages to
deliver before the first google phone they are still in the game.

And if the software Google is planning really is as open as they claim 
it is
the Neo might even become the first phone that will run this stuff. 
They
said, minimum reqs is about a 200MHz ARM9 so that shouldn't be the 
problem.
If that works out Google may just have jumpstarted the launch of the 
Neo,

time will tell.

 I agree.  Without 3G and/or a more competitive price point, I can't

 becoming much more than a small niche product.


I think it is important to get the neo1973v2 out on sale as soon as
possible. Then we can make software that may defend the price. I don't
think the basic version could be sold for any less than $400. Maybe
the advanced kit could be sold for $500? I don't know. But I think
that the phone is so special that it can defend the price. It just
need some good looking, well featured and optimized software.

Unfortunately this is half the story.
Whatever I ever kept in my pocket fell out and broke if my pocket was 
not buttoned at the top.

Glasses phones pdas ... you name it.
The requirement to have your pocket buttoned up is way more important.
So the requirement  that it must be flat at the bottom is superficial.

I prefer the aesthetic look of the Neo and there is nothing more 
comfortable to handle than a symmetric design.


Point in case, a classical rounded edge shaped bar of soap is the 
easiest to handleSquare soap never worked for me.
