FreeRunner A6 Sale
I've been holding off on buying a FreeRunner until until it seemed sufficiently problem-free to me. $250 is a very appealing price. I just wanted to confirm my understanding that the only difference between A6 and A7 is that a) the buzz fix is applied and b) it has a newer GSM firmware (which I can flash myself anyway, so not a big deal.) If my understanding is correct, then it sounds like a great deal, especially if I'm able to ship it to SDG Systems for them to apply fhe fix for me. http://sdgsystems.com/estore/cart.php?target=productproduct_id=269category_id=17 ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
FreeRunner Pricing and PVT update

It is not necessary to modify a cable to fast charge the device. All that is needed is something like [1] (which costs US$3) and the software from [2] and you have fast charging without modifying a cable or relying upon the folks from OpenMoko to get into the accessory business. The only thing that the the custom charger does is include a resistor that provides GTA0x a way to recognize the charger so that it automatically draws the full amount and [2] isn't needed. Opening the accessory business is A Good Thing. Including a charger is not necessary.

Far too often companies take a standard accessory product And make minor changes that require the customer to go back to them for replacements. So, we are pushing EVERYTHING in the direction of being open. It's a culture change. Like Opening the CAD files. So, that is the direction I am working toward. Open Engineering. Open Marketing. Open Sales. These culture changes take time. But from Sean on down we are committed to move forward with them. Steve Openness is good. After checking out the wiki[1], it seem that fast charging can be performed without the need for a custom charger, so I personally am fine with leaving it out. My powered USB hub can supply the needed 500mA to fast charge while at home, and an AC adapter to do the same when away from home can be purchased online cheaply.
