Well that's about the size I was looking for, but that's gonna get real expensive real fast (batteries dying). :\ I was thinking about something rechargeable. I'll probably just get one of those emergency chargers, though I'm not really interested in recharging, just hotswapping. Some of them get

Yeah, I think that would work. I don't know anything about electronics at that level, though. I make (a little) software, not hardware. :P Can someone suggest exactly what I need? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org

Yeah, I would like a quick and easy app to hotswap. I currently shut down the modem from SHR Settings, and then swap and turn it back on. But an icon on the desktop that shuts it down, waits 15 seconds, then turns it on again would be great. Or maybe an actual GUI to manually turn it on or off.

Hey, I don't know if something like this exists, but I'm wondering if anyone's seen one. Does anyone know of a little dongle that can store power to run the FR for like 15 seconds or something? That would be really useful for hotswapping the battery, since it's impossible to do that when I don't

It just needs to provide the same power my laptop does via USB for a few seconds. Such a thing would not be hard to make, I'm sure. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
