Re: Unbutu mobile
Where do you draw the line? The Freerunner should be at least at the lower end of that spectrum.

OpenGL 3D is by far not the standard in mobile devices these days and will probably not be any time soon. 2GB and more of internal storage (harddisk equivalent) is also quite uncommon. 256MB RAM could be argued for but anything more seems unlikely - for the near future. Devices like this IMHO suck too much power for being really mobile. If you can recharge them every few hours of usage, maybe. Well, this is my view on this - maybe I am a littel conservative. But as long as manufacturers are looking into single core solutions for mobile phones to save $10 for the second modem CPU core, 64MB of flash already being unusual and 128MB of RAM almost luxury, I think that those MID devices can not be considered targets for something like a general purpose mobile phone Linux platform. The GTA devices are *very* well equipped... Cheers nils On 2/26/08, Nils Faerber [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dean Collins schrieb: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile Any thoughts?

Re: Unbutu mobile
I'm hoping to see small and cool things coming out of Nokia/Trolltech, Intel, Motorola, Asus, and friends these next few years. As the sub-sub-subnotebooks become tinier and skinnier, and the ultramobiles and smartphones get bigger and more powerful, the underlying technologies may converge enough that an initiative in the right place at the right time -- say, OpenMoko and Ubuntu Mobile -- may be able to span those technologies. Here's hoping! I'd love to have a Mobile Internet Device, but as of now they're too expensive and underpowered for my liking. I'm really looking forward to the FreeRunner, though! ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
