Righto. Of course, I'll be still buying the phone regardless, but I would hope OM toss some resources this way _after_ getting the system otherwise mass-market operational (or yeah, at least get the mpeg decoding part independently and publicly documented as was alluded to as a possibility with the glamo anyway). Leaving it totally unsupported in these conditions would be somewhat downletting. (Again, talking extended duration here, I don't mind it being unsupported for now.) And for my two cents, screw "properly" if it gets too much in the way. A device node that takes ioctls for geometry and mpeg-4 packets to decode? If that's what it takes to get the functionality... And hey, any crappy implementation would at least provide information for Somebody Else to perhaps make it cleaner. -- Mikko Rauhala - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - <URL:http://www.iki.fi/mjr/> Transhumanist - WTA member - <URL:http://www.transhumanism.org/> Singularitarian - SIAI supporter - <URL:http://www.singinst.org/> _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
