I have used an iPhone, my wife's. The animations are pretty at first.
After a while, they're just annoying. My wife gets impatient waiting for
windows to get out of the way so she can get on with what she's trying to
do. What's really funny is that some times the phone will do all that neat

This question is probably just because I misunderstood something you said
before, but I'll ask anyway :)
If it is acceptable to use QVGA, couldn't that basically be done without any
hardware changes? I believe I remember you saying the glamo does scaling,
so couldn't you let SW treat the display
You could save quite a bit of room there by getting rid of a SHIFT and the
CAPS keys. you might consider something like a double-tap on shift locks
it, and a single tap only affects the next character.

Just had a crazy thought while reading this thread
Someone (read: not me. I AM a EE :) ) could make a stylus with a usb

usb port and be held tight against the side of the phone.

well, if you encrypt the data and store everything as binary, I don't think
the version control system would be able to minimize the network traffic.
However, I like the concept. If you access the svn server through an ssh
tunnel, you'd get the encryption on the link and the reduced traffic. I
Good news, you're likely wrong :)
Don't project the current draw when on the charger to when on the battery.
It's very normal for the charger portion of a PMIC to be extremely
in-efficient. I typically see less than 50% efficiency on chargers. The
power system will be optimized for running off
Just a thought...
Perhaps it would make sense for the wiki pages to fit the horizontal
resolution of the Freerunner. I would image that it may be an often visited
site by the phones when people are getting started.

I wouldn't bother cutting your cable. Right now, the neo will only switch
to 500mA charging when it is successfully enumerated as a high-power

Well, Bradely's suggestion included making the flip transparent. If it's
transparent, the button definitions can still be on the screen, instead of
written on the buttons themselves. Now the only thing that is fixed is the
shape of the button matrix.
Personally, I'd like to see a touchscreen
As of yet, ATT hasn't disabled bluetooth like you mention. I bought a

Many fingerprint sensors that would fit where the button is have a
navigation function. They operate much like the touchstick, or a mini
touchpad, when not capturing a fingerprint. They are gaining traction in
the tablet and ultra-mobile PC market for doing scrolling and simple
