[OT]Making Geek's phone not so offtopic on this list ;)
Dear list, I was talking with the Geek's phone CEO we agreed a couple of intersting things , In a couple of days we will receive some final prototypes of the final version of ONE We will work together to open as far the hardware of the phone, first step is obtaining the BOM list of the chipsets included on the ONE, to evaluate how difficult will be to port the actual kernel used to run Android to one to use for example SHR,QtMoko, or any other :) Until the prototypes arrives and/or the we obtain the BOM I would like hear from you any question you believe is useful to be answered, other requeriments to achieve make run a GNU/Linux distribution on this hardware. Also if someone is already interested to do serious hacking on the device please contact me personally or through this list and I will try to make you arrive one of this unit, as you can understand if we receive more colaboration proprosal than devices available we must do a selection, so please don't blame us to much if you can't recieve a unit at first attempt :P Regards David Reyes Samblas Martinez http://www.tuxbrain.com Open ultraportable embedded solutions Openmoko, Openpandora, Arduino Hey, watch out!!!

If it's better hardware than the Freerunner and with free software drivers, then I'm surely interested :) Best, Rui On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 11:06:59AM +0100, David Reyes Samblas Martinez wrote: Dear list, I was talking with the Geek's phone CEO we agreed a couple of intersting things , In a couple of days we will receive some final prototypes of the final version of ONE We will work together to open as far the hardware of the phone, first step is obtaining the BOM list of the chipsets included on the ONE, to evaluate how difficult will be to port the actual kernel used to run Android to one to use for example SHR,QtMoko, or any other :) Until the prototypes arrives and/or the we obtain the BOM I would like hear from you any question you believe is useful to be answered, other requeriments to achieve make run a GNU/Linux distribution on this hardware.

Re: [OT]Making Geek's phone not so offtopic on this list ;)
I looked at the specs and its screen is listed as wqvga hybrid resistive. I presume that hybrid resistive means it can still use a stylus? Recently tried my sons ipod which you cant use a stylus with - only useful with huge buttons and a GUI designed for finger use - basicly hopeless for fine work, typing text etc, but then its designed for movies/game playing. Fairly useless for my working style. Of more concern is that its wqvga resolution - exact details are not given but wikipedia lists wqvga as any screen having the same vertical (240 pixel) resolution as qvga but wider. Having a Palm Treo650 with a 240x240 display for a few years, I can directly compare it with the FR 640x480 - going back to something as primitive and outdated as 240 pixels seems to relegate the phone to things like video playing which I have not done on the FR in over a year (i.e., you are losing a lot more functionality than you are gaining). It will be interesting to see if these are real areas of concern, or the design is better than it appears in this area. the other specs seem great.
