======== NOTE ========= I think it's the 40th time i write this: PLEASE REPLY ALL!!!! I am in digest mode, replying all is always a good practice and doesn't cost anything. Thank you ===== END OF NOTE ===== I have a question at this point: people wants to patent the wheel, but wheels get built everyday by anyone who wants to. So what is stopping us from doing the same 8pen idea but open source? Nobody will ever make money on it, so i guess it's nothing to lose for the company that originally implemented the 8pen. -- Daniele _______________________________________________ Smartphones-userland mailing list Smartphones-userland@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/smartphones-userland
