No. This time, ones and zeros were all it took to assembly Openmoko's fourth product: shiftd.com - A web service to bookmark, share, and discover videos worth watching. I wish it have at least a small PCB board, or small things to solder... I'm not fond of You-thing videos, and I'm not sure this is OpenMoko's (OpenMobileKomunication) job to do this kind of aggregation tools. Furthermore : I receive enough dents on identi.ca with links to videos : that is the same job. Idea #1: I still wonder why Openmoko didn't work a bit on GTA04 project... Idea #2: Wikireader has USB capabilities, but I'm not smart enough to unlock it. It could be really funny to use it (as a small info touchscreen, interface, remote ...) Idea #3: I saw this week some really cheap phones (35€), with only phone/SMS capabilities, but colour screen BT. I bought one, but the OS is totally crap buggy. I wish I could update the code, compile reflash it with my own one...

Hehe... I think you rate GTA02 far far too high, and WikiReader far too low. But obviously I'm biased :) As for shiftd, just give it time. This one is going to be good.

A bigger screen/cooler case would be nice, but keep the resistive touch-screen. It works better in the rain/snow.

Re: FreeRunner screen/case improvements (was: Shiftd)
Speaking about screen I prefer AMOLED displays. Advantages: higher contrast on sunshine and generally less power consumption than backlit LCD, especially with GUI based on theme with white or colored text and icons on black background. AMOLED with red GUI on black background is also great for preservation of night vision, great for astronomers etc. Also price is low.
