Likewise, I won an 8GB iPod Touch (essentially the iPhone without the cell phone components), and I'd love to run OpenMoko on it at some point. I bet searching Google for hardware specs would give you enough starter information on configuring the OpenMoko build software to cross compile for the platform though? I'm not sure how you'd get/install the firmware on the device though given the only means to install other firmware is via iTunes (at least for the Touch, don't know about the iPhone). -id ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: iPhone Acquired!
Do you have an ATT SIM card? Does it work with your iPhone? (I know you said you didn't get an ATT contract.) I'd be very interested in whether that SIM card works in a Neo.

Please don't ask me to smash or demolish it...yet. I have been messing around with it the last few days, and there are a ton of usability suggestions that can and will benefit OM/Neo.

Re: iPhone Acquired!
If I recall, the iPhone is a 3G phone, but only uses EDGE on 3G, the slowest speed. I have a friend with an iPhone, I'll ask if I can borrow his SIM to see if it'll connect to ATT on my Neo later this week. -id Michael Shiloh wrote: Do you have an ATT SIM card?

In fact, generally, it's called 2.5G :P true, but i kinda dislike those G designations as the are very non-informative. i keep seeing the local press refering to hsdpa as super-3G, but thats not given. as such, its much better to read the actual product specs as they at least list the proper designations. and just to deliver a small kick towards apple, thats why i hate hearing about their superdrive. hell, even their refreshing of products throw in a wrench at times. sure someone is using a macbook pro, but what generation macbook pro?! but then im a geek. to most the under-the-hood stuff will fly by them at mach 16. they just want their gizmo to do what they ask of it without fail or hickups. i guess its the same thing with cars. some love to talk about CCM's, torque and all that, while others just want it to drive them flawlessly from a to b, and look good while doing so. i just wish that computer stats where as fashionable as car stats... ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: iPhone Acquired!
I do have an ATT sim card that came with the phone, but it is not activated... It is recognized by the iPhone as an ATT card. I could put the SIM card in the Neo and see if it is recognized, but I don't have ATT service for it. -Kyle On Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 5:56 PM, Michael Shiloh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Do you have an ATT SIM card?
