Re: Apple iPhone ads

We'll see what the future holds. :) Chris On 6/4/07, Rory McCann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Apple have released a few ads for their OpenMoko competitor, the locked down iPhone.

I do work for the fellow who own's http://www.scottevest.com, and I know he has a personal contact with the guy named... Leo Laporte from http://www.twit.tv/ Maybe if I can get my hands on a demo of the Neo1973, I can get it on TV? Thoughts? Contact me directly if needed.

I am a Hungarian exchange student right now and I think I could help you by sending in a couple articles about OpenMoko to some Hungarian tech papers. Hungary (in general) is very opened to Linux (go to Google Trends and search for Linux) and it has got a strong Un*x like OS lover community. Hungary could be a strong market of OpenMoko. If you have any existing articles, I could translate it into hungarian and put it into press. Also I am just about to start a Hungarian OpenMoko Community site. :) Regards, Dan On 6/4/07, el jefe delito [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Regardless of where the hardware and software are right now, I would imagine that they both will be further along come release date. But, outside of this community and the few people that remember us telling them about the FIC Neo1973 and the OpenMoko platform, who knows about this phone or platform? Slashdot and NYTimes and many other sites have articles about the Apple iPhone, but very rarely is the Neo1973 mentioned. We, the OpenMoko community, are interested in these articles too (I would imagine), and yet no one ever posts a comment about the Neo1973 (except me, it seems). If we don't get the mainstream press to write about the Neo1973, we (or FIC) are going to have a difficult time selling devices and getting out there. If they (press) won't write about the Neo1973, the least we can do is mention the Neo1973 in the reader comments, with a link to the wiki. Here is one such article from just this weekend. The iPhone will be getting a lot of coverage, and as different as the two philosophies may be, the average person on the street will see the two phones as very similar. If we have a great feature comparison, why not let people know?? http://news.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/06/03/fever-builds-for-iphone-anxiety-too/ I hope that we can start to create some buzz about this product! Being open, being able to work with multiple service providers, being unlocked, being cheaper, being higher-resolution... all of these are benefits that we must PROMOTE.

I imagine there are bluetooth headphones? Wouldn't that solve all problems? Wires suck. BT hands free uses a lot of power I guess it depends on the application, it seems to me that many people are discussing using this as a MP3 player while docked. In that situation bluetooth is good because its plugged in to power. The second situation discussed is mobile music. The USB based one (like the Moto I have) or the 2.5 would likely be the best solution here in my opinion. And if you really want to hook up to your standard 3.5 - iPod headphones, or DJ phones, then an adapter is needed, or use the juice, and go Bluetooth. I have also seen L shaped adapters too for those that feel the adapter and head phone jack would excessively protrude from the device.

Canada OpenMoko
Hey all, I'm Chris, resident of Calgary, Alberta Canada. I'm a Linux geek, I confess. I currently work for some big oil and gas companies as a Linux systems administrator, and Backup Storage admin. I have some experience kernel hacking. I use Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, and OSX. My diploma says that I'm a computer programmer but I'm positive its all a big farce and a conspiracy. I would love to get involved with the project. My main area's of interest are general hacking, application porting, and eventually SIP/AIX (Asterisk) integration (w/802.11). I'm interested to know what hardware I should gather to start? I saw OpenMoko on a Motorola Phone in some of your pictures, what model is it, is it worth trying to hack? I'll definitely pick up a development kit once they are available. Until then, I'll read over the wiki and attempt to setup a development environment in a VM on my MacBook.

Re: Canada OpenMoko
Hi Nikolaus, et. all. I may not first try to setup a build envrionment natively on OSX but it's something I'm interested in trying. I think my first goal is going to be creating a VMware image of a distribution (Debian or CentOS at this point, maybe both) with the development environment pre-installed. This way myself and others can get going quickly (with VMware Player for Windows and Linux for now). I'll then upload the VM image somewhere after, maybe a .torrent or it can go on the openmoko ftp server? Additionally I'll look at creating a Parallels image for OSX, but as Parallels cost's money, I'll also look at setting up a build envrionment natively in OSX, perhaps wrapped inside .img file... time will tell. First priority, is to just get a development environment setup in a VMware VM. Cheers, Chris On 4/10/07, Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: available.
