FR is not something used to impress when it comes to eyecandy :) of course time will tell - newer more modern hw with an open os ready to "hack" will appear. when its up to snuff with an up-to-date soc etc. - then we can talk :) > BTW, see you soon in porto de galinas :-) . muito bom! :) :) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
