Graphics Accelerator needs matching joystick and keys
Hi there, First of all I must say that I'm happy to hear that the project is growing and that I will be able to buy an open phone in October. I also take the opportunity to ask: will there be an Europen sales point or representative? Wouldn't that represent an economical advantage for both company and customers? Now for my real question, Since GTA02 (AKA: The Mass Market Neo 1973) will have an SMedia 3362 Graphics Accelerator, why not make full use of it? Why deny possibilities? I think there is a huge benefict in addind a joystick and keypad to the OpenMoko. This would allow users to play old classics in emulators; run new (java) games and assign keyboard shortcuts. I don't think that adding a joystick and a keypad is a big technological endeauvour :-) Is there any reason for not having them?

Re: [OpenMoko][FIC] Neo1973 - sample ?
The GTA01 version will go on sale at www.openmoko.com on July 9th. Everyone can order one if he/ she wishes to do so. Though it is primarily meant for developers, (because of lack of software, not very stable and a limited supply of neo's) there are no criteria for who is and isn't a developer. => For detailes, please see the New Oceans post from Sean: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/announce/2007-June/13.html On 6/29/07, Mickaël Toumi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello Sean, I'm currently working in the DVB-H mobile TV field and should be happy to contribute to OpenMoko to deliver a multimedia application.

The troubles your having
Reading the announcement from herald on the planet homepage made me sad, and I am sorry that your having such troubles. I do wonder though that if you are having such trouble purchasing items why not buy them from China? Since you are producing the product here maybe it would be a good idea to have an office here as well. I live here in taiwans sister city, Xiamen and I can assure you not only does China support e commerce, but you can buy anything that you could ever want or need here even things not available on other markets yet. All this considering Xiamen is one of chinas main shipping hubs. Though it is a bit strange to what I am accustomed to, all of the tech/computer related hardware is located at one huge area called computer city. Sadly they all close around 6 or 7pm which is strange considering most places stay open much later but everything you need is right there. Its really hard to believe that taiwan is such a pain when purchasing something when so many things are made there. In China its really very simple. Of course this may already be after the fact, but anyway in the future, if such problems arise consider purchasing from China instead by order or even a short trip, soon we will have a very fast shuttle boat between Xiamen and Taiwan. Hope I can be of some help. Jeff ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Complete stack reload with Neo Base
You only need the debug board if you mange to corrupt the bootloader on the device. For upgrading the bootloader, kernel and applications, look for "USB DFU" on the wiki.

Dear Sean & Everyone @ OpenMoko, Congratulations to you all for the great progress. I also would like to throw in a slightly technical question: I plan to buy the Advanced version of the GTA01 to get the debug board. Will it be possible to use this same debug board with the GTA02, so one only has to buy the basic version of it, or will it have a different debug board or connector?
