Re: Patent threat to OpenMoko devices?
Perhaps I should also post my personal opinion about this and I think there are different possibilities what may happen: 1. The patents are valid (don't think so) 1.1 After successfully suing Apple, Dell and so on, Typhoon will continue with suing smaller companies like OpenMoko. Probably they will wait however, until enough devices were sold to ensure that the royalties are high enough 1.2 Typhoon will not sue more companies (until they need money at some day) 1.3 OpenMoko licences those technologies from Typhoon 2. The patents are invalid (my suggestion) 2.1 All of the legal actions will find their end in a non-courtial comparison, thus no prove will exist that the patents are invalid. Typhoon may then sue smaller companies including OpenMoko, that will perhaps prefer to pay some money instead of taking a many years long and costly legal procedure 2.2 One of the bigger accused companies can make the court concluding that the patents are finally invalid. The big company invests some money into their lawyers and this lawsuit and after a few years and a final conclusion, there is no threat to OpenMoko any longer. (this may however not let Typhoon stop begging smaller companies in the meantime, just like SCO did with Linux users) (my suggestion) 3. The patents do not affect OpenMoko at all (may also be possible. As stated before, I did not read the entire patent descriptions) Kind regards, Daniel Mewes -- Daniel Mewes ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Phone: 0800 DAMEWES (3263937; from inside Germany, I call back) Mobile: +49 (0) 160 8577603 Pager: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: GPS

AGPS is an improvement over plain GPS, allowing faster position locking when additional data (AGPS = Assisted GPS) about satellite positions is available (can be downloaded from the Internet for example). Every AGPS module behaves just like a normal GPS module, as long as this data is not available. This also is how it is used in the current OpenMoko software stack. And yes, the Freerunner has the better one, an AGPS module. :-) Best regards, Daniel -- Daniel Mewes ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Phone: 0800 DAMEWES (3263937; from inside Germany, I call back) Mobile: +49 (0) 160 8577603 Pager: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: mailing list management
Well this is probably the wrong place for a whole-community poll about this topic, but let me say that if the majority here really wants subject tagging, than please put the tag at the end of the subject! I use pager notification for my e-mails and text paging in Germany has a very limited message length. Filling half of it with some non informative tag would make the whole thing impractical. Also putting a tag on the beginning of the subject makes reading through a list (like in my mail client) of a high number of messages very very inefficient, since the important information isn't where my brain expects it to be (at the beginning!). I personally cannot see any benefit from tagging the subject, but that's probably up to everyone's own preferences in their way of mail handling. -- Daniel Mewes ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Phone: 0800 DAMEWES (3263937; from inside Germany, I call back) Mobile: +49 (0) 160 8577603 Pager: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
