Thanks, that's info!

Why do I want WiFi?
Hi Community A lot of stuff around WiFi these days - A feature that does _not_ seems to be even planned as of now! :) Why do I want WiFi? NOT to make expensive VoIP calls in airports - if I want to spend money in airports, there are plenty of other ways... I want WiFI so that the Phone is a real part of my network, allowing Sync's & Backups, move/consultation of files over standard smb:// protocol: safe, fast, secure, you choose what to share & what not. I want WiFi to overcome the trouble of GPRS not being recognized/set up right with my local carrier (tell me about it: exotic phones are never acknowledged as data-capable by carriers), so I can apt-get over the network (cheaper, faster than over GPRS BTW), so I can get the online stuff I _need_ (mails, mainly. Ever tried to browse the internet over a Palm? useless.) I _may_ use WiFi then as VoIP confortable handset when in range of my own network, but that's just a small bonus. [The Dreams that can't get me asleep: -I want WiFi AND 3G so my ubuntu laptop can connect (WiFi) to the handheld as a modem to get online (3G) anywhere... with a decent screen size & speed... Me being not a hacker/developper, this will never happen in my lifetime... -I want WiFi & true PIM Suite/sync soft dedicated to Linux - but that could be overcome by the WiFi+SMB implementation] Cheers Jean-Philippe [dumb end-user] -- SuSE93 Linux Kernell 2.6.11.4-21.14 KDE 3.4.0 Kontact 1.1 Kmail 1.8 PHNOM PENH - CAMBODIA ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
