Re: Ready For Prime Time?
On Wednesday 24 January 2007 19:14, Jeremy Nikolai scribbled in crayon on the back of a kid's menu: I thought I read something a while ago that the first generation Neo _wasn't_ going to be multitouch capable, and it hasn't been mentioned in the specs recently - does anyone know definitively either way? From what I know, 1st gen will be resistive touch screen, single coordinate reporting only.

Generally when the certification is done the filing is visible online - I don't see any OpenMoko or FIC filings listed for such a device. And that worries me, as I'm dieing for this thing to arrive.

RE: Ready For Prime Time?
Joe, As with many US gov sites, the information scent isn't as strong as it could be, but start here: https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/ You'll want the 'Generic Search' link on the left, Reports menu. When you find a phone (I haven't looked for Neo yet, I suspect it hasn't been filed), click on Detail in the Display Exhibits column. And have a .pdf viewer handy.
