Re: Invitation to indicate interest in next batch of GTA04A5 boards
Am 04.10.2012 um 14:50 schrieb Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller: We have started to plan the production of the next GTA04 batch. This will include a minor board layout update (therefore the name GTA04A5). For some details what will change, please see [1]. It is very important that we can estimate the real demand and depending on that set the right price. Therefore, please use the wishlist function to state that you are interested and what your favourite price would be. Please note that if you choose a high price, likelihood will increase that we can produce earlier and in smaller batches. If you choose a lower price this is fine as well, but it may not become available at your preferred price. I.e. we are trying to find an optimum between price and number of units. Anyways, a wishlist entry is not binding - it just gives us a picture what our community is interested in. So please start voting: http://www.handheld-linux.com/wiki.php?page=GTA04 The more votes we get, the better the picture will be.

Nikolaus Schaller: +++ GTA04A5 preorders +++ Now as we have finally learned everything about mass production and the adventure of the first group tour is finished, it is time to kick-start the next one. As with any major version increment, this time it should run much smoother... And if not, we will do Version A6 :) So we plan to produce up to 200 more GTA05A5 units at a price of 555.55 EUR [3]. Production can start after we have really finalized the PCB layout. Work on the layout had been slowed down while fixing the GTA04A4 boards. The reason why we need a redesign is that we have to solve some minor production issues, replace obsolete components and to add some small features. But before we can start production, we need some money upfront and finally decide how many units we will build this time. Therefore, we immediately start to collect pre-orders [3] for approx. 2 months and then start production. Please expect delivery by end of March. I will keep you updated on the status. [3]: http://www.handheld-linux.com/wiki.php?page=GTA04 Hi all, end of march is coming closer which was the original date scheduled for shipment and some of you are waiting for a status information. But to be frank and open: there are not many of you waiting. Just a handful. To be precise: 4 prepaid orders 11 entries in the wishlist (if we combine GTA04 + 2804 wishes) This is simply not enough to start production without loosing a lot of money that is nowhere available. Because people sometimes believe that we want to rip off everybody by the high price [2] (555 EUR for the planned GTA04A5 board), let me give some facts about component prices (you can also research yourself at www.Mouser.com): OMAP3530CBP100: 34-37 EUR Memory chip:12-15 EUR UMTS module:60-90 EUR WLAN+BT+GPS:40 EUR PCB:40 EUR + 2000 EUR one-time cost (machine setup) Production: 45 EUR + 1000 EUR one-time cost (machine setup and stencil) Other components: 100 EUR (there are approx. 200 positions on the BOM!) WEEE, CE, etc: 10 EUR Factor for Repairs and Warranty:110% Please note that these component prices are a fact if we buy 1-100 units without any room for negotiations. So this makes more than 350 EUR for the components. Plus setup cost. Plus warranties. And there is not yet a margin for anyone involved in the process. E.g. development of (new) features (e.g. OMAP4/5, LTE, better display, new case) costs timemoney and must be covered by sales of the existing GTA04. Now, if we want to let's say build 10 units, the setup cost distributes to 300 EUR per unit and even at 100 we still have to expect at least 30 EUR. And, you have to consider that the BOM cost does not even include VAT. From this calculation it becomes obvious that nobody wants to rip off anyone and a comparison to cheap devices built in Asia is neither fair nor showing knowledge about economical mechanisms. The key to open the GTA04 door is getting more units into one production batch. But without demand (for the only free and open smart handheld that really is available) it does not work. So we unfortunately have to postpone the production of GTA04A5 boards, until someone manages to create more demand. This is a little sad, since we now have solved all technological problems and could start production anytime (well the longer we wait the more components will become EOL and have to be substituted). Anyways we will continue to support the existing GTA04A3/A4 by improving the kernel, boot loader etc. If you have ideas how to stimulate demand, please do!

It's quite sad that such nice project is attractive for only such small group of people. I dont think there was any obvious mistake done. Most likely it's just wrong time for our project. Openmoko sold 1 phones with much worse HW and with crap software - maybe that's why there is so small demand for GTA04 now... Ideas: I think there might be interest in encrypted GSM calls - those customers would be not worried by big price. It's just matter of implementing SW for it. The board would be nice for some industrial solution. E.g. company where i work uses nearly identical OMAP board for reading smartcards in trains: http://www.odp.cz/index.php?id=53L=1 GTA04 board would be much better for this, but unfortunately the board was chosen before GTA04 was usable. High price is not problem here... Looking forward meeting you and Christoph in Berlin!

Re: Invitation to indicate interest in next batch of GTA04A5 boards
Encrypted GSM calls are basically not feasible to transfer encrypted voice you need a data link between the both ME, GSM creates GSM-codec voice path, not a data path. Means your data gets mangled by carrier's audio processing. You *can* *not* send data at a reasonable speed over a GSM voice call link. /j On Tue 26 March 2013 15:58:10 Radek Polak wrote: On Tuesday, March 26, 2013 11:22:39 AM Dr. H.

SNIP the kernel, boot loader etc. If you have ideas how to stimulate demand, please do! Nikolaus Schaller Hi Nikolaus, Thanks for your great and continued work on the GTA0x. Wouldn't it be nice if the GTA04 could be a showcase for the upcoming Ubuntu phone? I think the Ubuntu phone will get a lot of attention, once it come out and being able to show it on the GTA04 would sure get some attention, and thus demand. Just my 0.02 btc.

Your mobile operator is not capable to record your conversation when you are using Secure Voice. Industry usual GSM interception hard- and software is not able to catch your conversation. Additionally to this: You personally can choose the desired security grade. There are two versions of Secure Voice: Secure Voice CSD and Secure Voice 3G. They differ in the way the encrypted data is transferred from one mobile to another. Cost of CSD connection seems to be like for sending a fax.

Well, we all value different qualities. In addition to being libre, I would really like a bigger display and battery option, and a case for it. Maybe a 4 display - maybe bigger. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
