If the viewer is already implemented you parse/render the whole Wikipedia to include the images links already rip off in the "official" version with a "--include-non-free" option in make or a unnoficial patch to avoid this filtering..., It seems a great idea to me. then is up the (advanced)user to include this image or not and he is not taking any more profit than enjoying the images .

I not agree with this, is clear than you cannot appreciate the subtle mastering of colors or the smart use of lights in a 1 bit color depth 240px width image :P but you can see How it looks like and in WR for me is far from enough, > But having maps, flags, schematics and other low dynamic stuff makes total > sense. I see the flags more problematic than van Gough ... a lot of them relies on colors to diferentiate each other so italian,french,irish, and all the miriad trhee vertical colors flags will be very hard differentiable > I especially think about the huge amount of svg content. > I imagine, that this can be fairly easily detected.

With the sizes we are talking abuout (3-4Kb once compressed), rarely a svg will be smaller than this, and I think reder a vector image is more resouce hungry than just a plain bitmap, but if the device can hold it it can be awesome as map viewer :) > > PPPS: We need a mailinglist Meanwhile people tag the topic I feel confortable in the OM list for a OM device > > Tilman > > > _______________________________________________ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community >
