Friend, which type of drugs do you use to loose reality and fairness? People have different views on the world (even without drugs). And different goals for their life (e.g. Earn lots of $$$ vs. Freedom for Everything). Therefore, their conclusions what is correct and the right thing is

I have no problem with this, myself. The Nokia phones are fairly open - not as much as the Neo, but they are definitely free to develop for. Their N800, for example, is effectively closed only in hardware. This is no worse than a huge number of PCs, whose hardware has closed drivers. Nokia is a

Hi, does anyone know, how power consuming the build-in vibrator of the neo is? Today, I held the Motorola Razr 2 (V8) in my hands and I'm very impressed of the feeling of tactile feedback of the screen buttons. I found this approach already on the wishlist

The idea from the Jackito sounded good to me - use the screen surface as the audio transducer, that way if you play a low-frequency sound you can feel it with your fingers. And it's much lower-power than using the vibrator. But I'm not sure how you attach a piezo to the screen; maybe the idea is

I'll agree with that. I actually like the vibration idea. I don't like that the list is loaded with stuff like IR portRemote control applications Would be great to use openmoko as a Hamony remote controller. I don't quite see the necessity in running you tv with your cellphone On 10/1/07, Jeffrey
