files on the wiki and producing them on a 3D printer.

However Laser cutting is *much* cheaper and faster if all we want is a 2D
template cut in thin plastic. The resulting part can also be transparent,
and 3D printer output is opaque.

Or invert the problem, instead of buttons, make holes. The touch sensitive
surface is exposed through the holes, and you can feel which hole you are
poking at. A relatively stiff transparent cover with holes in is easy to
make (techshop.ws laser cutter :-) and clip onto the face of the phone.
Slingbox currently can stream your home video system (including TiVo)
to a computer or high speed (3G/WiFi) phone. It works well on laptops,
and I've seen it demonstrated on phones and it looks quite good. This
implies that its at least technically feasible to stream MythTV to a
Neo.

Likewise, thanks for this detailed response.

The physics comes in if you give the slider mass and intertia. Then
it accelerates and decelerates depending upon how hard you push it and
how much friction there is.
The acceleration is driven by the difference in position of the touch
point and the slider as you move the touch point and the
While the initial phone doesn't have the power for OpenGL, the next
generation mobile CPUs do have graphics accelerators and OpenGL
support. I think this is a very good direction to take, as a follow-on
project, but not for the initial development.
Some simple parts of the physics engine may be
Apple's rendering model for the screen looks to me as if its resolution
independent and antialiased, which means that it appears to have higher
resolution than the raw pixel count. This is harder to do using an X11 based
rendering model, but if we move to OpenGL eventually it would be comparable.
I've had Cingular unlimited for a year or two on a Treo 650. The basic

$40/month, then the unlimited data plan adds $35, and with a few text

about $80. I got a
