Re: t-shirts in the US

ThinkGeek.com would be an excellent alternative - possibly a tad
cheaper.

 stuff).  If spreadshirts can give the same thing, I don't
 really have a preference, but I'm all for cafepress otherwise
 (you will have to select the direct dye (don't remember their
 name, but it's obvious) option when you create the shirt
 itself)-- and check that the stock shirt you select has that
 option

 right, I said I'd  open up a shop in the US, too. I'll
 create an
 account tomorrow and start copying the designs from my

 account.
 
 Is there any particular reason to take one or the
 other
 (cafepress/spreadshirt)?

Re: Neo1973 vs Future OpenMoko Devices - whats a buyer to do?

2007-05-25 Thread Rich Goodwin
When the WiFi is released, I assume the GA version, will the Neo be able
to to Wifi  GSM simultaneously?  I'm leaning to say yes but pose the
questino to be sure.  Logic could be to be calling someone using a BT
headset and looking at a web page or doing a corporate app via the net
simultaneously.

  If this first-generation phone isn't ready for general use, what is the

  generation devices be far superior to the first generation?  Or can I

 The idea is for the hardware to be completely ready for general use.
 However, it won't have wifi.
 The next release, in a couple of months or so will.
 The software is a completely seperate question - if you buy the one that's
 soon to be released, you will be able to install the 'release' software on
 it when the later hardware is released.

Re: release date

2007-05-19 Thread Rich Goodwin
I couldn't agree more on the first two items.  I would however up e-mail
to number 2 and include Groupware (calendar, notes, ) and texting
(SMS or IM) in the top list.  GPS is important to me/our effort but not
as high a priority as mail, calendar  texting.  A dev environment for
corporate apps as well but that could be a parallel effort.

 I dont mind having a FIC NEO 1973, phone that I can only call with and

 No problem. I think FIC  developers underestimates this. there a re a 
 lot of us in companies want to use the phone platform for other markets 
 anyway.
 Open Source is the only way we can create derivative applications for it 
 to even distribute with our products.
 
 If the hardware is fixed right now and will not be upgraded severely, it 
 would be great to have one now and continually upgrade and add software 
 as it develops.
 This is anyway how most open source folks work and it is part of the fun.
 
 As Steve Jobs said in his keynote speech with the release of the iphone, 
 making a call is the killer app
 He is right and we must not forget that.
 
 I think you guys need to get this out asap.
 The only reason I do not buy the iphone right now is because it does not 
 have GPS.
 
 To me there are three killer aps in order of importance
 1) Make a call (thanks Steve you're right)
 2) GPS
 3) Open source.
 3) Internet/mail etc.

  For end-users, it's still September.

  This will _NOT_ be a workable phone you want to distribute to

Re: release date

2007-05-18 Thread Rich Goodwin
OK ... you peaked my interest.  I understand not giving it to many
others to use but as long as a one can make/receive a call - that is all
I'd expect at this point. Is it a functional phone??  More importantly,
are there any H/W mods planned?  and will the developer version be
upgradable?

I'm still interested in the developer version - it does help to get
expectations in line. 

Thanks for the update!
