One goal of freeing the CAD , freeing the flesh of the phone, was to enable

So, the CAD files for the FreeRunner are out there, before it has even

underappreciated.
 
The per piece cost of plastic is small.  Go price a pound of plastic. The
risk is tooling. We reduced that

 I want to enable a world were you can print parts. Trust me, I am not happy

that they cant get pink. If you want pink, you should get pink.  
 
That doesnt entail that I should build pink. I enable people to make it pink

From the involvement I've had with injection molding the costs of material
(ie the plastic) per piece it not very expensive, it's the mold tool that is
the expensive part.. For one project I'm involved in I think the mold tool
was something like $10KUSD.. This is a production quality (read high
quality) tool... I have heard of cheaper tools out of china I think (like a
few $K), but don't think the quality is as good..

One of the reasons because I will buy a Freerunner is this openess there 
is in this project. Accondig me it is a so new thing that a lot of 
person don't understand what it mean.

It is a new market, and a realy new street for an hardware producer.

I hope that in the future people will understand the value of this choice :)

RE: Colored cases, etc - Was Re: FreeRunner Pricing and PVT update

Well, you actualy have to design the case to allow painting.
 
Paint has THICKNESS. So if you look at the clearence for buttons, you would
have one clearence
for a non painted plastic and a bigger clearence for a painted plastic part.
 
I have made this mistake before, when I wanted to change colors at the last
minute and the painted plastic
parts didnt exactly provide the types of clearences ( etc) that you need.
All that said, there are parts on FR
that could be painted without ruining fit and function.  The back cover,
and front cover
 
The middle part which houses the UBS, ext ant, etc etc, is the part I would
worry about painting, because
of the clearence problem for the connectors and buttons that are brought out
through that plane of the device.

Hmm in this goal, why not Openmoko.com to sell blank case, non finished

I don't think only with painting, but integrate an eye cam or other
expansion pack, or wifi external connectors for example...

Even one water proof why not :)

not having different colours, but not realising that *they* could do
their own colours.

   I have no experience at all in manufacturing -- my closest moment
came when I did some work on production scheduling in a flour mill --
but I still thought it was worth finding out what it would cost to do
it. I doubt that I'll have the capital, drive or time to bring this
idea to fruition, but I might as well see what's involved...

 That doesnt entail that I should build pink. I enable people to make it pink

plus PP (or $22 if it's $10k per mould -- front and back). That's
going to be UKP 6-11, or E 8-14. How much do other phone covers go

 For quite a while now I've been reading comments from people saying that
this issue or that issue is a deal breaker. I've been reading hardware
requests and demands that stretch the gambit from quaint and interesting to
just down right silly. If this is the environment in which all FOSS is
developed, it's amazing we have a kernel to run it all on. I'm all about
presenting and discussing ideas. But the making of demands in this
environment is extreme.

 FIC and OM have come up with a hardware platform to meet a predetermined
need and market. If someone thinks some major item is missing, create a
competitor. Fork the hardware.

 In all fairness though, I think calling the release of the CAD files under
appreciated is a little premature. Accessories companies are going to wait
to see what the adoption of this phone will be like.
Then they will make business decisions about risk versus benefit. If the
phone does become successful, that is moving enough units to make it
profitable for FIC and the accessories makers, we will see the CAD files be
put to use outside of hobbiests.

 My opinion:

 with
 a self-made cable...
 + pouch
 + lanyard (this is something Moko-specific like the pouch...)
 
 - no stylus
 - no SD-card (1/2 GByte are too small, more are too expensive)
 - no headset (some want big ones, others small ones...)

 I totally agree with you, Marco!
 But I would like to add two important things:
 -The Pouch is more important than needed for me, it's essential. It
 will always be there, when I'm not using it, I also don't want a
 no-name pouch, because I like that one with the word openmoko on it,
 because it is simply great! I also like this neoprene-outfit.
  
 -The MicroSD is less than optional, because here in germany (don't know
 about other countries) you get an xxSD card really everywhere for just a
 few euros. Another point is, that I can buy that size I want to buy
 (depends on the money I would like to spend on it). 
  
 Two notices for optional gadgets:
 -Lanyard: I don't think one with openmoko on it is a standard part,
 and I like it :) (I also think it's a really cheap but great part)
  
 -Headset: Every ones ears are other ears: small, big... and because of
 the standard port every headset should work. I also thought that the
 openmoko (GTA01) headset has no mic. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I do! Well, actually I probably won't get a Freerunner as I have a
1973 and limited amounts of money. However, I'd like my next phone to be in
black with pink parts. B) Even more appreciated would be lime green and pink
but I'm probably the only person in the world who wants that...

 I do! :D (just kidding)

I recently was at a dinner with former colleagues. The subject turned

her killer feature would be. Without hesitation she said: It has to be
red. That was the ONLY requirement.

When I told the story to my girl friend she said: Can I get one in red, too?

Neither of them cared about about the size of,the phone (which I
personally find a big too large), as they were going to carry it in

I think we seriously underestimate that 50% of the population is

it.

RE: FreeRunner Pricing and PVT update

Ole.

 Let's do a thought experiment

 I'll sell you all the red phones you care to buy at a deep discount.
 In fact, I will promise never to sell a RedRunner and let you have
 all of the red phone market.

 How many would you buy? 

 Today, they like red, yesterday it was pink, Tuesday will be herringbone.
That is fashion.
Skirts go up. They come down.

 Nothing wrong with that!

  But for now We are choosing a different path.

What about colored stickers? I think it could be cheap to design and cut 
them to fit at the neo. I guess this could be a solution to many whishes 
for special colors. But this feature could be sold by a thirdparty-shop. 
And I guess, that it would be early enough to sell them when the 
massproduction begins. There wont be many female developers i think.

   let me know what you think. My inclination is Open accessories.

  I agree to Open accessories.

  Thinks I would like to see in the box:
  - Charger
  - USB-Cable
  - Headset

  I also would like to have - may be separately:
  - Stylus
  - Pouch
  - MicroSD

maybe i'm wrong, but i can't see om being able to source microsd cards
at a competitive price. e.g. i can walk down the road and get 8gb for
80usd. even if they can source the cards cheaply, i'd rather not have
the price pushed up for the sake of including one, which may or may
not be a useful size for me.

there's also warranties; if something other than the handset breaks, i
want to be able to take it down the road to get it fixed/replaced if
possible, not have to post if off and wait for a replacement to come
back

the other items may be more attractive, but only if they're really
necessary and don't put up the price for more than i can get them at
dick smiths, or are unique to the neo

personally, i'd want:
*a modified charger (if one is made)
*a pouch
included, and that's it
anything else, including a generic charger, i'd prefer to source
myself as and if it's needed, to keep the cost low

This seems like an odd decision to me, is it just a limitation of the store

The same thing happens at 15, 19 ? 



 So, if you wanted 11 you would buy a 10 +1.  and yes, this is a always an
 issue in volume sales.


Sorry but 10+1 is never an issue in volume sales because no one does it like 
that. It's 10+ 100+ 1000+ etc... You don't treat 11 any different from 10 in

2008-04-14 Thread Lowell Higley

I think I'm going to have to completely disagree on this one.  I RARELY plug
anything into a computer to simply charge it.  I'd venture almost never.
The idea that I HAVE to plug a device into a computer to charge it is
completely ridiculous to me. I'd bet my experience as a product marketer
that consumers would feel similarly.  My expectation of a cell phone (based
on precedent) is that I get a wall charger with my phone.  Even Apple didn't
break this precedent with the iPhone.  You can plug it into a cradle
(connecting to a system), a wall charger, or a vehicle accessory charger.

That being said, I don't know whether this custom charger is just a
modified USB cable or an actual wall charger.  Again, based on precedent, my
expectation was that it was a wall charger.  Thinking about it now I realize
that perhaps that was not a good assumption to make.

Just my 4 1/2 cents.

Re: Charger? (was: Re: FreeRunner Pricing and PVT update)

Reading your email I wonder if there is a misunderstanding here. A USB
charger is not a device that gets plugged into a computer but it is
simply a device that supplies power on a USB-like plug. It can be a wall
charger or a car charger. 

If you go to ebay and type in usb charger you get plenty of hits
starting from a few dollars.

The only and minor issue is that these chargers don't speak the USB
protocol and thus can't say hey, you can take as much as you want and
I'll give you as much as I have. They simply offer voltage and current
on the plus and minus lines of the USB plug.

So essentially the Neo asks hey, can I have 500mA? and there is no
answer. The Neo then plays safe and pulls only 100mA as to the USB
standard. But the Neo can pop-up a dialog asking you hey guy, there is
some unknown charger, I currently take only 100mA, shall I pull more
anyway? - and this lets you use *any* USB charger out there. Be it one
from Apple or one from eBay.

best,
marcus

Finally, the miniSD card, DEFINITELY leave it off, unless you get a really
really really good deal, because you can buy very high-capacity nowadays, so
it doesn't make much sense to pay for 512mb or such on the neo, and then buy

as far as I understand, the Y-cable was needed when you want to power your
neo at the same time you want to connect an external device to it.
So the cable is not needed if you just want to attach an usb device.

AFAIK the Freerunner provides only 100mA. If you want to connect an
external usb-powered harddrive you need another power source.

Re: Charger? (was: Re: FreeRunner Pricing and PVT update)

2008-04-14 Thread thomasg

Well, you'll get used to it :)
USB-Charging is fine. You can use a standard usb-wallcharger as well as any
mini-usb cable or usb-carchargers and so on.
I have some devices that can only be loaded over usb and some who can also
use a proprietary charger. I mostly use usb, because I have a dozend
chargers for that.
I agree that a charger should be included, but at least we have to know if
it will.
Also there's still the fast_cccv issue, means you have to explicitly allow
the device to charge at a high rate if the charger isn't a usb-host.
As there will be no charger included, I think this should be activated in
the official distribution by default to allow charging without hacks. It
should also be clear, that there is warranty for this method of charging, as
there is no officially allowed solution included.

 is completely ridiculous to me. I'd bet my experience as a product marketer
 that consumers would feel similarly.  My expectation of a cell phone (based
 on precedent) is that I get a wall charger with my phone.  Even Apple didn't
 break this precedent with the iPhone.  You can plug it into a cradle
 (connecting to a system), a wall charger, or a vehicle accessory charger.

 That being said, I don't know whether this custom charger is just a
 modified USB cable or an actual wall charger.  Again, based on precedent, my
 expectation was that it was a wall charger.  Thinking about it now I realize
 that perhaps that was not a good assumption to make.

 Just my 4 1/2 cents.

Custom cable and custom charger (was: Re: FreeRunner Pricing and PVT update)

2008-04-14 Thread Michael Shiloh

IIRC, the custom cable is actually part of the charger, i.e. charger 
and cable is one unit.


If you think about it, this makes sense: If the cable were a separate 
unit, you might plug the cable by accident into a charger (or worse, 
your laptop) that could not deliver 1 Amp, the phone would think it was 
hooked up to our custom charger and would start sucking 1 Amp. At best, 
it wouldn't work, worse, it would damage your charger, worse yet, it 
would damage the USB circuitry in your computer, very worst, it would 
start a fire.


So the only safe place to install the custom ID resistor is in a charger 
or charger+cable assembly that is known to be able to safely source 1 Amp.


I will document how to create such a custom cable, and I will provide 
sources and part numbers for the connectors, but users will have to be 
careful that this cable isn't inadvertently used with a charger not 
capable of providing 1 Amp.

1) include the custom (closed) cable or at least make it an option


I do agree with this... Also if the cable is sold only by Openmoko it 
should be there, since it's a so important thing for using the phone as 
a standard phone (I not always have my PC around, and neither I should 
have electronics knowledge to build my own cable).


If some people doesn't agree with its philosophy, he could simply 
choose not to include it on the pack, or simply, to resell it...

Imho it would be a too closed view, btw!

2) ensure the manual includes that a standard USB cable will work.  Be 
sure to list the limitations of said cable. (I think the wiki has this 
but it needs to be in the docs that go with the phone.)


Ok, this could be a workaround, but just a workaround for me...

3) publish the pinout / construction of the custom cable.  Maybe 
publish the BOM and your source of those items.  Perhaps a 3rd party 
could make a small ebay fortune out of this item.


Of course for keeping up our idea and to help who loves self-making 
you'll have absolutely to publish these informations!

Re: FreeRunner Pricing and PVT update

2008-04-14 Thread Steven **

I think the only thing in that list I would want with the Freerunner
is the USB cable (as I don't have many mini-USB cables).  I already
have a nice bluetooth headset and MicroSD card.  Any of those included
with the Freerunner would be useless for me and would seem a waste of
money to me, personally.

Obviously this is only my opinion.  I suppose to others, the USB cable
is useless but they really need a headset or something.  Everyone will
have different needs, so I don't think you should even try to make
everyone happy.  I say only include the minimum required for the phone
to be usable.  Everything else can be purchased separately.

I want this cable not for charging, but for using USB devices with

I feel its a bit dodgy expecting customers to hack up their own cable

-Headset: Every ones ears are other ears: small, big... and because of

What should be included in packaging (was: Re: FreeRunner Pricing and PVT update)

2008-04-14 Thread Bobby Martin

I am one of those crazy people who use the neo 1973 as their everyday phone,
and I NEVER use the pouch.  Does any current every day user use the pouch or
lanyard?

I lost the stylus (it's way too cool; if you forget it at a restaurant or
something, you don't get a call asking if you want it back :-)

For me, the must have list would be just the charger.

However, to me this seems like a super-simple problem to solve!  By default
(after the 'goodies' release, of course), you just get the phone.  Anything
else may be useless junk to any particular customer, destined for a
landfill.

By default, you just get the phone, but you are given a little list of all
the extras with a checkbox for each to see if you want it in your package.
They are reasonably priced, and shipped in the same packaging as the phone.
There is clear text that you will need a Neo specific charger to
automatically get fast charge, and that only a 2.5 mm headphone compatible
with X mobile phone will work.

Something like this:
Your shopping cart:
1 $399  Neo FreeRunner
Would you like any of the following add-ons?
   [ ] $9.99 Wall charger  (the Neo can only fast charge from a Neo
compatible charger or a computer USB cable)  (*What is this?*)
   [ ] $3.99 USB to mini-A cable  (*What is this?*)
   [ ] $9.99 powered USB host cable  (*What is this?*)
   [ ] $2.99 cool Neo FreeRunner lanyard (*What is this?*)
   ...

Of course, I'm sure other answers seem just as obviously correct to others
:-)

is that we are talking about?

 Reading your email I wonder if there is a misunderstanding here. A USB

 If you go to ebay and type in usb charger you get plenty of hits
 starting from a few dollars.

 The only and minor issue is that these chargers don't speak the USB
 protocol and thus can't say hey, you can take as much as you want and
 I'll give you as much as I have. They simply offer voltage and current
 on the plus and minus lines of the USB plug.

 So essentially the Neo asks hey, can I have 500mA? and there is no
 answer. The Neo then plays safe and pulls only 100mA as to the USB
 standard. But the Neo can pop-up a dialog asking you hey guy, there is
 some unknown charger, I currently take only 100mA, shall I pull more
 anyway? - and this lets you use *any* USB charger out there. Be it one
 from Apple or one from eBay.

Re: What should be included in packaging (was: Re: FreeRunner Pricing and PVT update)

2008-04-14 Thread Kevin Dean

I'm in the same position as Bobby. I use my Neo as my primary phone as
well as my digital media player. I haven't touched the lanyard or the
pouch since I took them out of the box.

But I also don't use my stylus. My stylus was neat in the beginning,
because I could use it to play with my cats, but as a functional part
of the Neo I find it a hinderance.

I bring this up because I think it MIGHT be relevant. The Neo doesn't
have a slot for a stylus. In the discussion of what will be an
accessory and what will be part of the package, I think the stylus is
the only one that has an actual impact to the software. If the stylus
is NOT included in the box, the software should be written in a way to
not need it. I'd personally be QUITE happy with this but I'm pretty
sure there are many people who would disagree. But if the software
won't be thumb oriented, the stylus is NOT an accessory.

I like Bobby's idea, the click here to buy this accessory but I
think Steve has pretty much ruled that out. Openmoko isn't going to
purchase and stock items without a profit and if it did that, it would
be passing unneeded expense to the customer.

What I think is the most prudent method to take is to have an openmoko
branded Approved stamp. This could be community OR vendor initiated.
I know that my iGo charger works without issue on the Neo with the
Check Fast Charge applet. I see no reason that Openmoko couldn't
recommend this on the site once the product goes mainstream. It would
allow the customer to make their own decisions, still leave a TON of
options, let the customer pick the best price and ensure a decently
high level of quality.

RE: FreeRunner Pricing and PVT update

Sorry,

I want to keep things as simple as possible for our shipping folks. So,
that's the current plan. I'll make rational adjustments as time goes
forward. Think about the 10 pack as a bulk product. That's what it is.

This seems like an odd decision to me, is it just a limitation of the store

The same thing happens at 15, 19 ? 



 So, if you wanted 11 you would buy a 10 +1.  and yes, this is a always an
 issue in volume sales.


Sorry but 10+1 is never an issue in volume sales because no one does it like

that. It's 10+ 100+ 1000+ etc... You don't treat 11 any different from 10 in

pricing terms.

   let me know what you think. My inclination is Open accessories.

  Thinks I would like to see in the box:
  - Charger
  - USB-Cable
  - Headset

  I also would like to have - may be separately:
  - Stylus
  - Pouch
  - MicroSD

maybe i'm wrong, but i can't see om being able to source microsd cards
at a competitive price. e.g. i can walk down the road and get 8gb for
80usd. even if they can source the cards cheaply, i'd rather not have
the price pushed up for the sake of including one, which may or may
not be a useful size for me.

there's also warranties; if something other than the handset breaks, i
want to be able to take it down the road to get it fixed/replaced if
possible, not have to post if off and wait for a replacement to come
back

the other items may be more attractive, but only if they're really
necessary and don't put up the price for more than i can get them at
dick smiths, or are unique to the neo

personally, i'd want:
*a modified charger (if one is made)
*a pouch
included, and that's it
anything else, including a generic charger, i'd prefer to source
myself as and if it's needed, to keep the cost low

  1. We have a custom charger that can fast charge the phone.
  2. Standard usb chargers will work just fine.


How long will charging the phone take with the fast charger vs. a normal
charger?

If a standard USB charger will take on the order of 12 hours (1200 mAh
battery / 100 mA, probably more due 100% efficiency), that is really
borderline of what sounds acceptable, if an overnight charge won't be enough
to fully charge the phone.

I fully sympathise and agree with using easily accessible hardware, but if
standard chargers take this long, perhaps the next hardware generation
should use something like easily available Nokia chargers or similar.

If it were possible to inexpensively construct some adapter cable to
existing commodity chargers to charge the Freerunner at 1 amp, that would of
course be an option too. I realize this wouldn't be ready for the upcoming
developer release.

2008-04-14 Thread Kevin Dean

I'll add it at some point. The reason I haven't is because right now
the Fast Charge applet isn't part of the Openmoko stack. A default
image of Openmoko doesn't support this charger in fast mode (which is
the ONLY think I'm concerened about, frankly).

And... This might show my own biases, but I can't STAND wiki. The
general consensus among commoners is that, because wiki can be
changed by anyone, they're unreliable. I know this isn't the case, and
i do assume that the vast majority of people are doing things with
good intention, but having OFFICIAL documentation on a wiki is about
as good for the average consumer as having no documentation at all.

Thanks Erland,

 

  I'm getting more info on the audio performance. I'll have samples arrive
in a couple of days and test the audio myself.

Bass for music was reported as a potential weakspot. So, I have to listen to
it.  Then I have to make my input.

WRT the big CAP. I don't track the passive component changes on the board.
I'm marketing. I track the performance.

So, I'll have a listen and then make my input before we go ahead.

Regarding a headset, how easy will it be to get a third party (wired,
non-bluetooth) headset with decent sound for the Freerunner?

I believe there was some discussion on the kernel list about impedances,
which made it sound like many standard headsets would not give good audio,
because they have too low an impedance IIRC. I would hate to have a
situation where I would have to buy and discard many simpler headsets to
find one with a suitable impedance.

I reiterate that I am all for OpenMoko bundling 'commodity' items, but the
key thing is that standard items really do work well.

By the way, I guess the big capacitor that was needed to get good bass audio
output ('Can

The RapRep doesn't have the precision needed to build a Neo case, and
last I checked, didn't have varied enough base materials to make a
study, opaque, and APPEALING case. Put simply multi-colored cases
are purely a looks thing.

The CAD files are out there and someone who wanted to sell after
market cases and felt that there was sustainable demand to be
profitable doing it, could. I'm willing to bet that in typical mobile
phone fashion there will be a wide variety of stickers and shells for
the device long before there are new case kits.

For a single unit, it would probably be cheaper to buy a spare case
and have an automotive body expert paint it.

I think I'm going to have to completely disagree on this one.  I RARELY plug
anything into a computer to simply charge it.  I'd venture almost never.
The idea that I HAVE to plug a device into a computer to charge it is
completely ridiculous to me. I'd bet my experience as a product marketer
that consumers would feel similarly.  My expectation of a cell phone (based
on precedent) is that I get a wall charger with my phone.  Even Apple didn't
break this precedent with the iPhone.  You can plug it into a cradle
(connecting to a system), a wall charger, or a vehicle accessory charger.

That being said, I don't know whether this custom charger is just a
modified USB cable or an actual wall charger.  Again, based on precedent, my
expectation was that it was a wall charger.  Thinking about it now I realize
that perhaps that was not a good assumption to make.

Just my 4 1/2 cents.

There have been plenty of discussions about this on the lists and the

I have a Neo 1973 and use it on a daily basis. The great thing is that
you don't need any special charger, you can use any $5 charger and it
works. There is a small program out there that can pop up a dialog
whenever it sees the Neo only charging at 100mA and asking if you want
to draw 500mA.

It really is a non issue. I have a couple of those chargers for
home/office/car/travel and they all work and charge plenty of other
devices too. IMHO a great design decision to use USB for charging.
Finally there is an end coming to have all these different chargers
around.

So I just can second Steve:
2. Standard usb chargers will work just fine.

Sort of off topic here (very) but i think the GTAV3 (or whatever next 
model) should have some form of firewire, would prove extremely handy 
whenever your around locked windows machines and feel that urge to poke 
around ^_^


ontopic:

I personally haven't owned a Neo yet, but i think the pouch would 
probably be most used for travelling and moving abouts, me for instance 
would most likely use the pouch to protect the screen when going back 
and forth to work/school in my backpack.


But this is ofcourse up to each person what they want to do, as for the 
stylus:
I feel that it should be a part of the package, but for the future maybe 
some sort of sleeve you can fit around the phone with some accessories 
could be made? With a stylus holder ( a smaller stylus) along with 
whatever other goodies one might need?


About the headset, i dont know, it's illegal to drive and talk on the 
phone without a headset here in Norway but shipping some really cheap 
headset that 99% of the buyers might not use is rather pointless, 
instead there could just be recommendations on the website or on the 
wiki about which ones give good sound quality and work well with the phone.
