Of course, "stuff for the phone" can already be written without any hardware. So, if you only intend to write a task list or something like that that has nothing to do with the GSM or GPS chips, you probably don't need the hardware. Maybe some people working on UI things need the touchscreen to see how it really behaves. But I think most applications could be mostly developed without hardware.
I am a developer. But I didn't order because: 1. I'm kinda lazy. I've had "play with OpenMoko" on my task list for probably 3 months and I still haven't written a single line of code for it. I have a lot of things on my task list... 2. Even when I get around to writing code for OpenMoko, I don't plan to do low-level stuff and don't think I need hardware to finish the bulk of my idea(s). 3. I want wifi. I could probably afford to buy both the v1 and v2 phones, but wifi access really expands the usage scenarios for me. (I'm thinking of all the ways I would use the Neo1973 while at home) -Steven On 7/15/07, Nick Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Unless I'm seriously mistaken, this device is very much for developers of stuff for the phone. Yes, phone hackers can mess around with the hardware and the bootloader, and kernel developers can work on the kernel, but userspace programs are also welcomed with open arms at this stage of development. -Nick Johnson _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
