 I was wondering whether there could be a method
 added to FSO that allowed overloading of this button based on the
 context. For eg :-
Good ideas, here is mine: if keyboard is active/shown it could be used
to rotate through the several layouts. My thumb is laying on it most of
the time I'm typing and layout switch is the slowest part on
typing...e.g. numerical keyboard is preferred for numbers but (default)
has no delete key.

 Is there an easy way to search within the lists archives?
 I didn't notice an Search list entry within

 (or http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community)
 Is Google (groups) the (only) way to go???
You can also use Googles extended search to search only on specific
sites. Just enter the archive URI and you should find what you need.

 Hi,
 
 just a question.
 
 Do you think that it makes sense to put the distribution questions to
 a new mailing list?
What a great idea. Maybe I'm to uncommunicative but I'm tired of
marking group order threads and what colour do i like questions as
read. At least I found a missing feature in claws: mark folded threats
read ;-)

I think the wiki would be the best place to arrange group orders and
form groups (which might exists after anyone got it's neo-- Steve's
intention to spent some goodies?). The real buying process is neither
done on the mailing list nor the wiki so there is no disadvantage.

Sorry, if anyone feels offended, just my onion pin and 2 cents

Re: Accelerometer brainstorming

 Unfortunately you need accurate speed to be able to get usable data
 from accelerometers for that. That's why some GPS modules have an
 interface for tachometer.
May be the history of GPS could be used to approximate the speed. Of
course, it's not accurate but when you assume facts like:

* you have already slow down your vehicle before entering the tunnel
* you will never accelerate in the tunnel
* max tunnel length of 3km

the variance should not be so huge. At least it's easier than connect
the tachometer. The other question is: do you really need the correct
position in the tunnel? If you know the position when the signal get
lost and know that you are in that special tunnel it should be enough.
Of course, it makes more sens in urban tunnels between huge buildings.

Correct me if I'm wrong, don't know tunnels outside Europe.

 What we Europeans would need is a FIC subsidiary somewhere here,
As I read FIC has some branch in Czech or Slovakia. Thing is: If you
ship a container €70 is definitely not the price per device.
You can help: motivate enough penguin people to buy a new phone and
maybe some one will risk such order.

If FIC could ship them to Czech (or Slovakia) with their in house
post it might be easier to get a good price.

Let's hope.
