Through the USB interface maybe? Or maybe via bluetooth, then there
would be no need to worry about a dangling usb cable.

Re: Alarmclock puzzle

2008-05-13 Thread Ulrik Rasmusen
That's a really good idea! I thought of a similar idea the other day,
when I found out I'd fallen asleep on top of my phone (which I use as an
alarm clock), and hit snooze repeatedly in my sleep.

Also, I often forget when I have to get out of my door. For instance, my
train leaves at 10:00, and it takes 30 minutes to get out of bed, and
then 30 minutes on bike to the station. In half-sleep, my brain thinks
that I have to get up at 10:00 instead of 9:00, and I hit snooze until I
realize I'm a dummy.

It would therefore be really nice if you could see the accumulated
snooze-time, and maybe set a maximum after which the OpenMoko just
refuses to let you snooze any more.

List problems, receiving multiple identical copies of each message

2007-07-12 Thread Ulrik Rasmusen
Hello,

Just after I started receiving mails from the mailing list again, something 
weird happened. It seems like some messages are sent out 3-4 times over a 
period of up to 12-14 hours. They have the same timestamp and the same 
content, so they are completely identical.

For instance, I recevied the message "modular open phone components" yesterday 
at 20:03, 20:12, 20:34, 21:12, 23:52, and then this morning at 01:43 (all 
times GMT)

Am I the only one having this problem?

No, it's a general problem. I think no one received any email the past 48

Well, I was thinking more about a totally device agnostic approach, so it's 
more a matter of development guidelines for fluid interfaces, and UI 
abstractions in the OpenMoko framework.

That's precisely what I'm talking about :). Similar features for OpenMoko 
would be great!

Cross-device compatibility

2007-02-10 Thread Ulrik Rasmusen
Hey,

I was wondering how much thought there's been put into making applications for 
OpenMoko compatible across different devices. Imagine in a couple of years, 
when OpenMoko has been put on 10+ different types of phones, all with 
different features. For instance, some will have GPS (like the NEO), some 
will have a big screen, while others will have small screens. Some will have 
touch-screens, while some will have a lot of buttons instead.

Since we will be using GTK+, I can imagine that the composition of the 
interface will be totally up to the developer. What will then happen when we 
move these applications from a 480x640 screen to a much smaller one? On 
devices that use J2ME, the rendering of the different controls and menus are 
decided by the host device, which makes it possible for the developer to 
target a big range of devices with different display capabilities without 
putting much thought into the UI. Would it be possible to do the same on the 
OpenMoko platform?

Also, since the applications for the Neo will use the touch-screen, there 
should be some usability guidelines, so developers makes their applications 
usable by keyboard-based phones too.

What do you think?
