Re: order from pulster
Daniel Selinger, Mon 2008-07-21 12:16 CEST: I have a small question. I ordered a freerunner @ pulster on 27th of june. Until now i just got an autoreply from their orderingsystem. Got no paying info, information when i can expect the phone or anything else. Same for me. The autoreply was sent 2008-06-27 19:06 CEST. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: R: Camera and MMS
t3st3r, Wed 2007-02-14 10:09 CET However I have nothing against the following: two models, one with camera and one without it. However I have no idea how hard and costly this to implement (usually, developing 2 devices costs more but probably dropping features is relatively easy - just do not solder some parts on same PCB and use a bit altered case). I just want to remind you of my suggestion: Camera is internal but neo has two backs, one with hole(s) for lens (and flash) and another one covering the camera parts. See point 5 in http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2006-November/000335.html Best regards Stony ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Neither iPhone or OpenMoko are revolutionary
Renaissance Man, Thu 2007-01-18 00:09 CET Who do I talk to ask them to include WiFi connectivity with the OpenMoko? I'll sell my body parts to get hold of such a device. I'd resell your kidneys :-) Why does no organisation (even Apple) seem to get it that the mobile communications revolution is through VoIP via WiFi. This is the killer app. They got it. But VoIPoWLAN as the *only* speech channel is no killer app, IMHO. It's VoIPoWLAN + GSM. Here the GSM providers enter the stage and don't like the idea too much, thus don't sponsor such devices. Please include WiFi! It's just a matter of patience. OpenMoko/Neo is the Way[TM].

Re: multicolour multi-touch screen Re: OpenMoko/Neo1973 is pure (r)evolution :))) - do you recognized the power of multi-touch gesture recognition
Robert Michel, Wed 2006-11-29 20:02 CET No keystroke at all - using just the different color points - areas and use the combinatoric - 10 colour points without different areas would give the power of 10! = 3.628.800 combinations more areas would give more power - so it would become possible to write shorthand/stenography with this device and even faster then with normal keyboards. Go go, gadgetto-hand, to hold my neo 'cause I want to write the next chapter of How to become a mach-3 typer with eight fingers and two thumbs on a 2.8 screen.[1] Anyway, didn't want to stop your flow of ideas. BTW: What do you think about T9? Touching instead pressing keys could speed up the process noticable. And the user has the option to fit the geometry of keys to his fingers. Stony [1] I printed a picture of neo in its original size and... yes it fits, but don't expect to see anything else but fingers. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Light sensor
Ivan Lucas, Thu 2006-11-30 23:34 CET Talking about using the Microphone as a sensor reminded me of an idea I had some time ago, I'm regularly in noisy places such as crowded railway stations or bars. Wouldn't it be good if the neo1973 could check the ambient noise level before it started to ring, adjusting the ring tone volume to be heard over the background noise. i.e. ring nice and quietly (or on vibrate) when I'm in a library, or ring at full volume when I'm in a noisy bar. I like this idea very much! Simple but really helpful, like light sensor -- backlight. Thumbs up!

Re: Light sensor
Rod Whitby, Fri 2006-12-01 00:56 CET See http://treoware.com/brightcam.html for a great example of how this works on the Treo 650 via a third party utility which measures brightness through the camera, and sound levels through the microphone. This utility does everything mentioned in this thread so far I think. Hm, maybe the ambient noise around the phone is not enough info for the ring volume. I could be in another room. If I had an AGPS-Mic-WiFi implant, the neo could measure my distance and ambient noise and adjust its ring volume accordingly. An alternative would be the an AGPS-WiFi-Vibra implant.
