OT:Advances on Ben NanoNote and other things (was Re: [reader] Wikireader received)
Hi Steve! Firts of all and to not distort the beautifull "first blood" thread of Doug I have started it in a another one and also maked it OT due in spite is interesting due is about open hardware is not strictly Openmoko related. So after the first intro here we go Yes I have seen this , maybe I'm too much quiet in the Qi Hardware List[1], but I read almost all messages there even those I don't understand about kernel things :), and of course the blog posts, and hey! I also start translating your(our) wiki to spanish :P. So be sure I have more than an eye there. Having GTK over Frambuffer, also see the benchmark , cool! is a great great news, you have open a lot of doors for port already existing apps and to do new developments.Now next step is have QT over Framebuffer too on Openwrt, (if it's not already done yet) and possibilities will just multiply :) Just a point about the envy, is not just to have a wikipedia in your pocket, is for have the device itself :) long time waiting that project B thing , yes geeks have a part of collector , and there is no much commercialized open gadgets out there so any new one is an object of desire. By the way I'm in touch with Wolfgang and Mirko to have one of those first Ben NanoNote and start playing with it and spread the results of the playing to the world, and yes a color/audio version of The Hitchhiker's Gu... sorry Wikipedia will be a cool cool thing :) A lot of beautiful devices will arrive at Tuxbrain soon, at least as sample, Wikireader, Ben Nanonote, Always Innovating Touchbook, Openpandora, and now I have in my hands an awesome Sharp Netwalker(some experiments along with Neo Freerunner soon :P), I wish having three or four more hands to handle all this beauties at once :) but at least they have the size to wear them everywhere. But I have no patience to wait for them without feeling greats amounts of envy when I saw other has the luck to play with them first. I'ts not so bad :) this ugly feeling disappears once the courier knocks my door :) and is fully forgotten once I start sending them to other envious and anxious geeks to calm their hungry of hacking. Steve, I don't know if your are aware about the om-showroom project[2][3], it stills on early stages but I hope in short I will have a test site up an running , I was thinking , due NanoNote is based on Openwrt that is based on ipk packages as is SHR, do a nanonote-showroom will not be so much difficult. I you think is a good Idea I can express it in the qi-hardware list. Just same "requeriments" as om-showroom, Tuxbrain logo as sponsor, and some "classic" banner about Tuxbrain products at the bottom ;P, Love to talk with you again on this list, man ;) [1]http://lists.qi-hardware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/developer [2]http://www.tuxbrain.com/en/content/om-showroom-something-show David Reyes Samblas Martinez http://www.tuxbrain.com Open ultraportable & embedded solutions Openmoko, Openpandora, Arduino Hey, watch out!!!
