Article about FreeRunner in Von Magazine (march/april 2008, vol.6, no.2)
Good morning everyone. There is a small article in the current edition of Von Magazine (Vol.6, No.2) about the FreeRunner. In fact, there is a picture of the Neo1973 on the first page in the Table of Contents! Then, on page 10, there is a small article about FreeRunner. For those who would like to see an electronic version of the magazine, point your favorite browser to the following URL and navigate using the top menu. http://www.vonmag-digital.com/vonmag/20080304/ The article itself can be viewed directly at the following URL: http://vonmag.com/technology/open-source/openmoko-unveils-neo-freerunner-open-phone I thought some of you might like to see the article, or maybe reference it somewhere on the Wiki. Apologies if this is old news.. Antoine PS: Disclaimer: I am NOT affiliated with von mag at all. I just stumbled on a printed copy of the magazine at work... ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Otherwise, it'll be very hard to use in any case other than sitting down and almost not moving at all... .02$ antoine -- Antoine Reid ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Unofficial poll: Do you want 3G in the proposed successor, GTA03?

I have to agree with Brad here. Wifi has other uses too! I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants/needs the Neo/Freerunner to connect to some private networks over Wifi. I don't want to have to go through my telco's network and back through my internet connection just to reach my network. Also, doing it that way would mean that I absolutely need some sort of VPN solution on top of the communications channel at all times. I don't necessarily want a data plan just to use the device on my own network. I *NEED* Wifi. A bonus would be to switch to a Wifi chipset that allows promisc and other similar uses. For me, removing Wifi from the device would be a deal breaker.

We can order from the USA and the shipping costs are usually not too large, but we end up paying a lot on insurance and broker/custom fees. It's a little better now that the Canadian dollar is pretty much on par with the US dollar but still.. Having a distributor in Canada would be very nice! thanks Antoine -- Antoine Reid ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Coming out of lurking mode... Although I'm not sure I would like a blacklist coming from the Internet (for all the scenarios that Heikki is invoking), I would definitely like a flexible blacklist/whitelist mechanism, at the minimum being able to group Contact entries into different groups and have ring overrides for some of these groups in different profiles. I'm thinking about different scenarios like: "during a meeting, don't ring except if caller is in the VIP list" or "after business hours, ring for anyone except if it's in a group called work". I would guess it would make more sense to have this done using a generic mechanism (something like: create a new profile. Select default ringer (on or off). Then, add exception groups that should behave contrary to the default for the profile). This way, different users with different needs would be able to get what they want. .02$ Antoine -- Antoine Reid ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
