I also really like the script! Sounds great. The idea of some ads for the openmoko is great. The question is, whether there is someone who will pay that. FIC? Or do you want to show them on youtube and other free platforms only? ___ OpenMoko community

An alternative gaming top case

2007-07-01 Thread Frederic Kettelhoit
Hello together, I really like the Neo. The software will be perfect, im sure. But there is something about the hardware I dislike. Why is there no d-pad? Because many people do not need one. Okay, but the Neo could be the perfect gaming mobile phone. 3D acceleration, accelerometer, a rounded

Why wouldn't it be so easy? Take a d-pad and four buttons, make some holes in the top case and connect the buttons with the board. Where is the difficulty? ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org

But there is a redesign of the board for the accelerometers, the wifi, and the 3D Accleration. It would not be much more work to put a connector under the top case. So if you want to play games, you just take the top case and the back case, remove them, take the new gaming cases, add them. The

Wow, awesome ideads. I really like both scripts! So what could be the advantages of the OpenMoko vs. iPhone. I could imagine: * the resolution 640*480 vs. 320*480 * the GPS * the price * the replaceble battery * the open OS and apps (so important that we need the most ads targeting on this imho)

Ok, that sounds not really good... Probably it is more difficult than I thougt... But what would be with an expansion back and top as described in the hardware wishlist? I would be sad to have a phone with open software but without the possibility to modify the hardware. Probably I would like to

Annother possible scenario: Neo: Hi, I'm an Neo. iPhone: And I'm an iPhone. * iPhone looks on a big map and tries to orientate himself Neo: What are you doing? iPhone: I try to locate myself by using Google Maps. Neo: Oh, that doesn't seem to be very exciting. I use GPS for that kind of stuff.

That was exactly the example one of the german developer used to explain the gps in a german podcast (I think it was Harald Welte in conversation with Chaos Radio). The idea is, that you save some points and adds information what to do there. So, a few meters around the cinema, the Neo switchtes
