Re: openmoko neo shape
There was a video showing Maddog Hall wearing one around his neck. Besides I found the design very stylish. The usual route of conversation goes like this: whats this...? me: openmoko ... takes it like iphone... me: it's not an iphone... touchscreen... me: and it runs on linux ..? and i got a square look. The point of interest is fading... ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

openmoko neo shape
Hi , some of my collegues at work ask why the neo looks like a beer opener . Was this part of the design ? Cheerio's Blokkie PS: where should the stylus be inserted ?

Re: openmoko neo shape
SNIP PS: where should the stylus be inserted ? on the left hand side there is a small hole, just above the speaker. You can insert the stylus there, but it might take considerable force.

Was this part of the design ? nope. the busboy fell down the stairs and nobody noticed until after several hundreds of units were produced already. PS: where should the stylus be inserted ?

Although I'm not from Asia, I like the design. It's not like all the other fancy mobiles with.. ehh... what's the name for that... flippable screens... ;) Especially the dark matte look is unique. -- Marcel ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

blokkie wrote: some of my collegues at work ask why the neo looks like a beer opener . Was this part of the design ? Seems that those designers didn't get out much - they missed this obvious feature. As far as I know, the case design predates Openmoko. I've heard that it was originally made for a device to be marketed in the context of the Olympics in China, hence the emphasis on circles, and perhaps also the fairly rugged design and the space for a heck of a lanyard. PS: where should the stylus be inserted ? In the empty beer bottle ? A stylus doesn't make sense. You'd either lose it after a few beers or you're not drinking enough :-) Cheers ! - Werner ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
