The point is that you must be a 1) criminal 2) sociopath to even want to do this thing with the GSM radio in particular, even if you could. The wifi on GTA02 on the other hand will be capable of this sort of thing (legally and ethically), therefore not really a hardware openness issue, IMAO. Just that there would still be the practical problems indicated by me and others. Don't get me wrong though, the Neo is not optimally open, and there are also non-evil things that the GSM firmware being closed restricts us from doing. I don't particularly like it, but it's a reality of today. We'll just have to mold where the future takes us, and the Moko. -- Mikko J Rauhala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> University of Helsinki _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
