BUT yes - you'll pay an extra $200. nb gta03 - you missed the news from sean's talk at openexpo in switzerland. gta03 is "postponed" (read cancelled - postponed is just a nice way to say it and try and keep the community hanging around in hope it un-cancels, as openmoko has laid off most of their staff (also news from openexpo), their linux staff. you don't un-postpone if you just let all the people go who work on the software). -- ------------- 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
