Re: What will the GTA03 have? and other quick questions...
Any direct answers to my questions? On a side note: are Aaron Sowry's comments being considered for GTA03? Thank you.

The main benefit (besides cost) of using a resistive touch screen is the ability to use a stylus - it should be assumed that people will be using one. - Longer battery life.

4) GPS Will I be able to keep maps updated for free? Will it be possible to make use of google maps, in the sense of having the indications on how to get from A to B?

Tangogps already uses that. opkg install tangogps The package from the repository is a bit ancient. I recommend you get the latest version from the tangogps website. Among other things it has the ability to download and store maps so that you can use them when not connected to the internet. http://www.tangogps.org/gps/cat/Download Cheers, Rob ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
