Oh - BTW, I know the other option is using SDL, but Im not particularly
fluent in that either.



Anyway, isn't SDL built on top of OpenGL ?

OpenGL is in the driver/hardware(not sure which).


OpenGL is an API.


SDL only provides a simple interface to it all.


An interface to what? OpenGL + other things? Isn't it what is called
"built on top of"?


And who would acctually want OpenGL on a smartphone...


Actually there is something called OpenGL ES (for Embedded Systems)
which might come in handy.

How well would it run without hardware acceleration?

I'd appreciate hardware/software specs of the graphics device...



From http://www.khronos.org/opengles/ :

Although the OpenGL ES specification defines a particular graphics
processing pipeline, individual calls can be executed on dedicated
hardware, run as software routines on the system CPU, or implemented
as a combination of both dedicated hardware and software routines.
This means that software developers can ship a conformant software 3D
engine today, that lets applications and tools seamlessly transition
over to using OpenGL ES hardware-acceleration in higher powered
devices.

Re: gmail users CC'ing

Why so many people who believe in the ideals put forward by the Neo/Openmoko
project are happy to use Gmail astounds me... It's not because Google do the
summer of code and have Chris Dibona and most of the talented OS developers
on their staff that there is anything free or open about them. They'll own
your mind if you let them.


I know you "mean it in the nicest possible way" as you say at the
bottom of your mail but this sounds rude to me.


Anyway, aside from that minirant, is it possible when sending mail from Gmail
to not CC loads of people in the meantime?
I'm not sure if this is inherent to the way the gmail client works, but maybe
someone could document on the wiki how gmail can be setup so it doesn't send
everything double?


You can't default that behavior. You have to click Reply to all and
manually cut/paste the mailing list from CC to TO.


I get CC's on mails I never sent, and it's not that big of a deal, but gets
kind of annoying having loads of mails coming in twice.


Talking about smart mail client, some (e.g. Gmail) are able to see
when two mails are the same and make it appear only once.


That's all meant in the nicest possible way, and if that's just the way Gmail
works, then fine - I can live with it.


That's not Gmail specific. Many client don't offer a Reply to list
option. It is just more visible as there is quite a lot of gmail
users.

Does this mean we could get this part (handwriting recognition) to
work on OpenMoko or even on something like an Ubuntu desktop ?

They're using Ubuntu mobile interface so I guess we'd better get it
from there if we want it in Debian.

Have a look at Tinymail, seems like it already does that.
