I spend some time in the terminal myself, generally to fix something in a config file or to mount manually something on USB or fix the network configuration. If the device were working flawlessly and with a good GUI for all apps, I wouldn't mind not hurting my eyes on the small chars :-) For working seriously in a terminal I need a keyboard and a large screen anyway (or a magnifying glass maybe ?). I don't know how you manage emacs with the various CTRL+ALT+META-x on the virtual keyboard but I sure can not stand it for more than a few minutes. As for reading in general (ebooks or web browser), I admin this is certainly better in a bigger resolution. The same goes for viewing maps. But all in all, a small gadget with small screen and no keyboard will never replace a desktop computer. So personnaly I am looking for other use cases for my FR, and a smaller resolution and better responsiveness is the direction I want to go. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
