I'll add it at some point. The reason I haven't is because right now the Fast Charge applet isn't part of the Openmoko stack. A default image of Openmoko doesn't support this charger in fast mode (which is the ONLY think I'm concerened about, frankly). And... This might show my own biases, but I c

That's a good idea, but for the most part that "approved" stamp can be fulfilled through the wiki. I'm sure there is already list of compatible hardware / devices that work with the NEO. I suggest you add your iGo charger to that list. On Mon, Apr 14, 2008 at 12:15 PM, Kevin Dean <[EMAIL PROTECT

I'm in the same position as Bobby. I use my Neo as my primary phone as well as my digital media player. I haven't touched the lanyard or the pouch since I took them out of the box. But I also don't use my stylus. My stylus was neat in the beginning, because I could use it to play with my cats, but

It is not necessary to modify a cable to fast charge the device. All that is needed is something like [1] (which costs US$3) and the software from [2] and you have fast charging without modifying a cable or relying upon the folks from OpenMoko to get into the accessory business. I want this ca

I think the only thing in that list I would want with the Freerunner is the USB cable (as I don't have many mini-USB cables). I already have a nice bluetooth headset and MicroSD card. Any of those included with the Freerunner would be useless for me and would seem a waste of money to me, personal

as far as I understand, the Y-cable was needed when you want to power your neo at the same time you want to connect an external device to it. So the cable is not needed if you just want to attach an usb device. But you still have to hack up a cable to make it work. Thus, it should be inclu
