Re: Neo1973/OpenMoko as a laptop replacement

2007-11-20 Thread Jay Vaughan
Anyone after a laptop replacement should consider the Asus eeePc.  
It's Linux based, cheap (£220 UKP) small and fairly rugged.



Hey, don't discount the NEO1973+Apple Wireless Keyboard idea, also.   
Its a very neat package, and while it is two things to carry around,  
its two very nice things which work well together ..

Are you really-really sure you want to run those exact applications on an 
embedded device with 128MB RAM and =400MHz embedded CPU ? From your usage 
pattern an eeepc does make more sense than the Neo (although it seems less 
and less appealing here as the prices have ballooned from 200$ to well over 
300E)

Re: Use Neo w/out removing from pocket (was: Neo1973/OpenMoko as a laptop replacement)

2007-11-20 Thread Jay Vaughan


I'm well aware that the input side of things is not addressed yet,  
but I think we can explore the video side without having to wait  
for a solution on the input side. It will come soon enough, I'm  
sure. Especially once we start showing what we can do on the output  
side.



Bluetooth input devices work great with the neo1973 already .. I tote  
my Apple Bluetooth keyboard and the neo alongside my monster-sized  
powerbook, and it seems like its only weeks away until I can leave  
the powerbook at home and just bring a full python development  
environment in the neo for hacking ..

If you make money from development, the license costs for Qt don't seem very 
high.

Email App

2007-11-20 Thread Tim Shannon
I'm curious if anyone knows that status of an Email app.  I though
originally there was going to be one app that handled all
communication, SMS, internet chat, email, etc, but I haven't seen
anything like this with the new 2007.2 framework.

Is anyone working on this, or what will the status of this app be
around December when the gta02 (hopefully) goes up for sale?

thanks,
