I dont know why I was supprised
www.openmoko.com Today I noticed a change that OM has released their CAD files for the case of the GTA01, This opens a major door to Case modding. I guess im used to closed hardware and tight-liped companies, but i was supprised. I will never again own a closed phone. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

The new part of this, is the communication around. According to Michael, gta02 case is not yet published, therefore I guess there is some differences, but the question is : what is the usefulness with this publication if there is difference between gta01 case and gta02 case ? I mean, the wanted case for someone who want to make alternatives cases would be the gta02 one. Anyway, this publication, which in and of itslef is a great news for consumers, is a good way for openmoko.com, showing again to the whole market an alternative way of business. -- Steven Le Roux [EMAIL PROTECTED] xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

It's been listed on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973_case_schematics#Official_case_schematics for a couple weeks. They could use any help they can get converting to additional file formats (see the note on wiki link).
