The keyboard needs to be an old manual typewriterkeyboard, and the UI should be white on black for maximum compatibility with Brazil. Seriously, though, I think this is a cool idea, but once you have a proper focusing system it's probably not going to be lighter than a laptop, so what's the point. What I'd like to see is someone (FIC?) making a computer *like* the Neo that's a real laptop replacement. 1Ghz ARM, DVI out, 640x480 screen just like what we have in the Neo, runs slow when it's on batteries, fast when it's plugged in, a couple gigabytes of flash, an external hard drive for when you're near power, and Bob's your uncle. You can pack a monitor in your luggage when you travel, and have a nice setup wherever you land. It would fit in your pocket when you're flying, but be powerful enough to actually use when you arrive. It could be a bit bigger than the Neo, and if it had a GSM modem and GPS in it, it'd double as a phone. Neo's big brother, you might say. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
