Have Fun they should be fast enough. problem is - the n series is lame. no phone. only a small 802.11 "webpad" and frankly - my 10" sony x505 beats that - and its a full laptop with 20g of disk, 512m ram and 1024x768 screen. you want a PHONE with telephony circuits - preferably 3g for packet switched data access (or older japanese phones). 802.11 is only useful when i'm at home - or lucky to find an open access point somewhere. you need telephony services otherwise. > Oli > > > > Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) wrote: > > On Thu, 11 Jan 2007 14:09:10 -0500 "Gervais Mulongoy" > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> babbled: > > > > > >> Heh, I guess I should have checked this out: > >> http://www0.get-e.org/Main/News/_articles/376.html > >> > > > > what nathan said - e will run. no problems. i had it running on my zaurus > > before. the problem is the WIMP ui doesn't "cut it" for a tiny screen. you > > need a tiling ui that displays only 1 app or maybe 2 or 3 but tiles > > vertically or horizontally. the libs that back e tho should run just fine > > and would provide a fast yet sexy ui experience - not unlike the apple > > phone :) > > > > all it needs is to sit down and code up a phone ui. it's not hard as it is > > generally very limited (you also want 2 variants. a touchscreen driven one > > and a keypad driven one). > > > > the problem is a lack of "platforms" to run on (i.e. phones that are open > > enough and reflashed that will work). and even then - we could do with > > backing and support from a manufacturer. if we had that i have zero doubts > > we could deliver an experience that is second-to-none (if we can get some > > hw that also is able to be accelerated so we don't software render - i'd > > LOOOVE that). > > > > the tricks are > > > > 1. cramming everything into 240x320 or 480x640 (or similar resolutions) > > 2. keeping it usable > > 3. needing to code a lot of custom apps to fit in that res and work with > > limited "keypads" or touchscreen input only (ie add a virtual keyboard - not > > hard). > > > > i think the existing linux phones with qtopia were aq wrong direction. the > > future would be phones with X - and a customised WM (eg E) with customised X > > apps and other X apps stripped down to fit in the low res and work well etc. > > etc. > > > > there is massive potential here. the problem is the time, resources and > > backing to make it happen (i know if a manufacturer backed it we could get > > something up in a year or maybe less not dissimilar to the apple offering) > > > > > >> On 1/11/07, Nathan Ingersoll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> > >>> Yes, though you would most likely want to create a custom or stripped > >>> down version.
