I work at the Kansas School for the Blind. Portable computing devices
for the visually impaired are extremely expensive, so seeing an
affordable OpenMoko device that is blind-friendly would be great.
Personally, I am interested in OpenMoko because I think using a phone

How much juice does the display eat up when it's active? I assume it's a
considerable amount. Could we have the ability to drop the phone into a
minimalist mode, where all the "fluff" is disabled but bare-basic
features continue to work?
For example, kill the wifi, GPS, bluetooth, and even the d

I personally like the configuration of my synaptics touch pad. I have
left, middle, and right clicks (1, 2, and 3 finger tapping,
respectively), and I can also use the right and bottom edges for
vertical and horizontal scrolling.
However, keep in mind that touch *screens* are very different in des

While FF does have a fairly large footprint, I've never had these kinds
of memory consumption problems. I generally leave my FF sessions open
for days or weeks at home, and I simultaneously load 3D games, OOo,
graphics apps, and other stuff without ever having trouble with memory
(granted I do have
Does this mean we can solder one of these in and turn our moko into an
enhanced Wii remote? :P

No, you don't. OPEN-Moko. You start throwing any sort of DRM in these
things and you will lose much of the community support that the moko needs.

A possible solution for this has been discussed under an accessibility
thread. The Maestro is a simple (yet effective) clip-on cover for
PocketPCs. There are a few different versions of it, which work with
various different brands and models of PocketPCs. Check out a picture

I imagine some creative programmer could offload some GPS calculations
into 3D space... just an idea if the GPU is very efficient.

CALEA amd such impose mandates on communications providers, not end
users. In fact, one of the popular ideas floating around right now to
deal with the CALEA mandate is to simply tell all of your users to turn

One word: expensive.
Refreshable Braille displays do exist, and
You *could* do what many existing linux apps do... write the functional
part of the app as a console program, and then use many simple GUIs as
options to interface with it. Think about cdrecord and K3b as an example.

A bluetooth frogpad will likely be my means of text input (when I need
to do a bunch), but the Eee looks interesting for other uses.
