It does sound plausible that it'd be "okay" with sufficient SD buffering at least. Interesting to see how it pans out. To give a more visible voice to some ponderings that have been on the IRC channel, I'll toss this followup question out here: Can the SD bus, when active, additionally be (stably) underclocked (when GPS is in use or maybe just when getting a fix) and, of course, would this have any effect? > We're about to verify a hw-fix so you could even watch video and still > have GPS positioning during that. Excellent. One would hope official retailers *cough*pulster*cough* would be able to perform such an operation, once verified; perhaps allow for fixes being done by local hw-capable people (sadly not me) without voiding warranty... > And *please* don't try weird reworks and maybe break your FR by doing so Yeaah sorry about that tinfoil quip ;] And cheers for keeping us in the loop with this issue. -- Mikko Rauhala - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - <URL:http://www.iki.fi/mjr/> Transhumanist - WTA member - <URL:http://www.transhumanism.org/> Singularitarian - SIAI supporter - <URL:http://www.singinst.org/> _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
