Re: X Server MultiTouch Support
Yes, but you're also ignoring that capacitive touch screens are more durable and longer lasting than resistive touch screens. And I don't know if you've ever used an iPhone, but i had no problems using the multi-touch freatures one handed or with two thumbs or a thumb and index finger. Try it for 15 or 20 mins before you knock it. **Sorry for the double Dylan.

Re: GTA02 Board only option in October?
I have to agree with Ian. I'd probably add usb wireless and just use it as a Myth remote. And if i can't find anything to do with it, i might just keep it around as a spare board in case i manage to break something or something like that. Maybe even board only upgrades for a while. I mean that lcd is very very good and i don't see a reason not to let people get the most out of it, and as the lcd is probably the most expensive part they could sell the board at a higher markup and get a larger profit, yet we'd still end up paying less. Now that sounds like decent economics. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: GTA02 Board only option in October?
Now ian that's a sweet Idea but the only problem is finding a place to buy a psp display! For 289 I can get these http://teptronics.com/pl9phrb.html two things, just as trivially I have two 9in diagonal screens that I can use for just about anything! But yes, i very much see where you're going. Heck, it'd be a pretty cool thinclient setup to build into a lap-board or tray while you're eating.

Re: What would be a realistic but challenging level for Bryce announced trophy money for video playback on the Neo1973? Re: h.264 format is now open?
Haha well then lets modify this a bit. I think your $50 has to go to somebody of the core developer team: I'm goinig to have to disagree I'll give that money to the developer who does it first and infact i'll send out an email to the dev list as a bounty. Which resolution and frames/s should have the video to win your prize? In some way a low resolution should run quite soon - for full or have resultion could external hardware help, or a much memory eating pre-decryption... So let us find a realistic but challenging level for your trophy money? I'll say 320x240 (for now) stretched to the full screen size and this MUST be at reasonable quality I'll crunch some numbers and come out with a full list of sizes and bitrates. I'll get this posted up today sometime. I thought about to join with a more symbolic amount of 10 Euro (I'm just a student) but then I thought when 100 people would join and the trophy Heh i'm a student to but i've got a decent job and this is most definately worth my 50usd for the amount of enjoyment that the community would get for it. And what about a deadline to reach it? March 11th + 3 month = June 11h? Who is geeing all the unreached prizes? The Core developer team? The only deadline i'd push would be before the second OpenMoko phone comes out from FIC. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: h.264 format is now open?
Yeah, for management. Actual Video decoding is done by a dedicated chip, Broadcom BCM2722. Good find. I guess i should have just checked wikipedia instead of googling would have gotten me much better information. I will however still bet $50 (first taker actually gets payout) that there will be a way to play video on the phone. I'm betting xvid or Theora however i'm not ruling out H.264 as of yet. Don't get me wrong cpu will be pegged above 90 but with some optomizations and dedication it'll happen. Infact i'm curious to get gstreamer up and try the Fluendo codecs as they have run better than all i've found except libmad which is just amazing (IMO obviously). But hey if i'm wrong i'm wrong and someone gets 50 american dollars. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Q: desktop software?
I would like to use FreeNX to use the Neo1973 from a Workstation, and to have video projctor presentation live from a Neo1973. That sounds like a fantastic idea. It should be pretty simple to get something like FreeNX up and running on the device. Then a full emulation to use the full Neo1973 power (beside the touchscreen) on a workstation as well. Other than the touchscreen what sort of power are you referring to? I'm probably thinking to literally as desktops are far more powerful than a handheld. Very cool would be an emulation via web with java, (maybe with FreeNX again) without any local installation. (in this case with an own server running the emulation) So when the Neo1973 would get lost, lay at home/in the car only access to any (trustworthy) workstation would be ok to use the Neo1973. Remember for as trivial as that may be to set up for slightly more technical folks, imagine if a very non technical person (i'm thinking of my mother right now) were to have to buy a new computer and found herself locked out of her phone. Now it's simple to say that they should read the manual(s) that come with the device, however we do know that no one reads them and everyone loses them. I will say that I would love love love to see that as an option! Then do I think that client/server solution would become more important then device/desktop software one, even for normal user. I think that the client/server solution is far more powerful and flexible, however the simplicity of Hotsync the one touch backup of your palm device is what made it so popular in the first place. I can take my Treo 650 home every day, connect a cord, press one button, and It's connected, now that's convience. I feel that that's the sort of conveince and simplicty that we should shoot for. One touch backkup is a fantastic convience and a big +1 when it comes to deciding on a phone. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Phone enhancements
You'd have to be doing some serious zigzagging: resolution of GPS at street level is about 50 meters... Exactly the point!! if you're zig zaggin that much you definately need to have the cops get called! But on a serious note, how could it be 50 meters? That's about 165 feet... in certain cases about 3 different roads... Most of the Garmin products are at 1m/3feet resolution. I'm sure that most consumer devices are within about 2m/6ft. Do you have numbers that I don't in this case? Bryce Leo ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: h.264 format is now open?
This is not probably called for at this point, Neo1973 pretty certainly does _not_ have enough horsepower to play back h.264. (I'm hoping to I think you'd be surprised. I'm going to bet that there won't be much of an issue getting smooth playback. If you look at the brains of the iPod Video it uses and ARM922T (32-bit) @ 200MHz, with 8K/8K cache. The processor of the Neo1973 is 32/16 bit running at 266mhz with 16K/16K cache. By the specs it should really be quite easy to get running... unless you're saying that those guys over at Apple Inc. can outcode us? And i'm sure you're not sayng that :-D And besides i'm sure that if for some reason h.264 had problems and Ogg/Theora solution would be significantly less intensive on the hardware (and thus probably better on your battery too). ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Phone enhancements
Seriously.. a breathalizer embedded in the mic, I know I'd love that! Can't see it happening though, but it probably wouldn't be all that expensive. Still, most people won't be interested in it. ... I don't know if you've looked at the cost of a stand alone breathalyzer however it ends up being 70 bucks (cheapest i've found) so if you just get the sensor with no software and add in the additional discout of bulk buying you're probably looking at an additional 20-50 on the phone depending on the supplying company. Not a bad increase in price really but for the first gen device i personally wouldn't include it. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Phone enhancements
Oh don't get me wrong I completely agree with you and I would whole heartedly buy a usb add on if one were created, i'm just saying that it would be really cool but currently is cost prohibitive for the first version. That would be a really neat selling point for the next version, gps and a breathalyser the ultimate college student phone, then when you wake up dazed and confused you'll know weather you should drive back home and also know how to get there. :-D ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
