 Please don't spread such misinformation.  It is done to keep control of
 the device away from the user.  I.e. it's only correct if you define
 malware as program that the company doesn't like, whereas I think
 it's usually understood as program which does things that the end-user
 doesn't like.  Many pre-installed software on today's popular devices
 are actually malware (tho only discerning users realize it).

Yeah, and useless as certain malware apps have popped up into Android 
and iPhoney.

  Hi All,
 
 I want to hack a bit on the Wolfson sound chip.
 The ultimate goal is to make a FR to FR modem conection, using the GSM
 voice band.

Why? Is this just to see whether it's possible, or how bad the voice channel 
is as a data connection when compared to the data channel?

 Hello,
 
 I added a new section (2.5) to the Openmoko page on wikipedia in an  
 attempt to reflect the latest status of the project:
 
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openmoko
 
 Hope that's right, if anyone has any feedback please let me know or  
 feel free to update the page directly.
 
 After recently discovering Openmoko my first few attempts at Googling  
 on the project led me to the false conclusion that the effort was  
 stone cold dead and it took some serious digging to find the latest  
 news so I hope to spare others the same confusion.

Hello all,

I also noticed that the FreeRunner wikipedia page could do with a bit
of TLC:

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner

I wondered about the possibility of adding a section about distros
which contains some nice screenshots of the latest SHR and
QtMoko. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Re: qtmoko v28, strange behaviour with the earphones

 hello
 Since I installed the v28 I noticed a strange behaviour with the openmoko
 earphones. 

Have you had the problems with older versions? It would be very useful to know 
if e.g. v26 works well (e.g. you can install and test from SD card). I think 
there was kernel patch for detecting jack inserting, so maybe we could just 
find it and apply. But first it would be nice to check if v26 has the same 
problem...

I can imagine using such a solution on a flatfee subscribtion that does not 
include data traffic. Just don't tell me you want to use the resulting 
connection for VoIP :-P
