Order from Pulster
Hello List! I wrote directly to pulster two days ago, but received no answer so far. Maybe something went wrong with the mail delivery. Has anybody else who ordered from the first bunch of (cheaper offer for 299 EUR) not received it yet? I received an e-mail from Pulster that they would be getting a new bunch of devices on August 15, and that I would get one of them. I already transferred the money, and two days ago wrote the email to pulster, but I received neither an answer nor the freerunner.

The fourth contact would be necessary for hands-free equipment with a microphone. In case you just want to use it for earphones or line-out, the microphone input contact is short-circuit to ground, which does not matter at all because it is input.

Will we have a chance to see it? Or it is pure dreaming since it won't be open at all? Nvidia seems to care about Linux and OpenSource, we might try a ride ;) Where do you see any real care about Linux and OpenSource from nvidia? If, then they only care a little bit about Linux, but they don't seem to care about OpenSource at all - at least this is the case for their graphics chips. I can't find any register specification or open drivers for this SOC either.

Actually I would just like to have somebody present the project and tell what it it is about, what the visions/ideas/possibilities are for the future. I think it is basically important to get openmoko into the people's mind. I do neither have enough insight into the project (yet) nor do I have a Neo1973 to hack on. In my opinion an university like ours is the perfect terrain to present a device like this because here tomorrow's developers are educated, and because of the closeness between our subjects and the skills necessary for openmoko development, there will be many overlapping interests. What was the talk at MQ about? Do you have a paper or something that you can send to me, so I can get an idea?

Re: Some ideas for the accelerometer

The summary is: No, due to the fact the accelerations are too un-uniqe. They might happen while walking, or anywhere else... I personally do like this idea, but I think it's too hard to implent... (I'm on a Macbook Pro with motion sensors, and it's nearly impossible to detect whether it's been moved or shaken...) What is the sampling frequency of the accelerometers? If it is fast enough that you can get the information of moving or shaking, it should not be very difficult to find out wether it has been moved or shaken, given you collect the samples over time and evaluate them. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHD0lF1Iv7pFQO3noRAvVIAKCsruL6uk3C3tfb4JdVemGh4H8ungCg5Z4F +hVkATHnwQS+qcBhIcH+pbU= =P7oB -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Asking for a talk in Austria

I organize events for our LUG, and I would really love to have somebody talk about the OpenMoko project. First off, we have some really interesting studies that relate quite nicely to the topics that are interesting for OpenMoko: * Hardware/Software Systems Engineering * Mobile Computing * Embedded Systems Design * Software Engineering and several others, for a complete list please visit http://www.fh-ooe.at/campus-hagenberg/international.html The conditions would be: * Preferably the speech would be in german, but shouldn't be a big problem if it is in english. * The speaker should have a phone with OpenMoko installed so people can see it in real life * We pay the travelling costs, although the distance should not be too far (about 300 to 400 kilometers is no problem *waving to the direction of Munich*) * I can't guarantee that we can pay anything else, but if you get in contact with me, we can talk about it so I can go begging to the responsible people. I would really love to have such a talk at our university, so please just contact me if you are interested.

Some ideas
Hi Openmoko List! I have been following the progress of openmoko and I really love how things are going. As far as I can tell now, I will order the Neo as soon as it is available. Here are some ideas that I would really love to see in openmoko: == Real-time switching of audio sources and sinks during a call == When I drive in my car, I usually use the bluetooth headset for talking. When I arrive at home during a call, I just want to switch the headset off and continue talking directly on the phone. The other way round would also be really fine to do - I started a call directly on the handset and I switch on the bluetooth headset and continue talking over bluetooth. == Search by surename and forename == I have all people in my telepone book stored with the second name and the first name. Because nearly all of my relatives have the same surename as I do, I have a fairly long list when I type in sil which is the first letters of my surname. Then I usually have to either skip through this list or write silbermayr completely in because on my motorola phone I can't just type in a space and afterwards the first letter of the forename. I would love the phone book application to simply jump to the entry Silbermayr Wolfgang as soon as I write sil wo into the search field. == Make phone usable even without simcard == I once had the problem that I lost my simcard when moving it from one phone to another. From that moment on I could not get beyond the pin dialog so it was impossible for me to access any contents that were stored on the phone like my phonebook or my calendar until I borrowed a friend's sim card. I would love to be able to boot up the phone even without a sim card. In that case of course all gsm-related functionality would have to be disabled. That's my ideas so far.
