Re: Video demo: Openmoko Neo Freerunner Features Accelerometer-based Gestures, and Screen Orientation
Dont have my freerunner yet but that really is a great bit of work, keep it up, can see this being really useful, only criticism some of the gestures seems to be a little, well, over the top, I mean, if I was on the bus and I started doing the Z shape for example people would think what I was upto, do the gestures have to the this exagerated or was that just for the demo so people could clearly see what you were doing?

Re: Video demo: Openmoko Neo Freerunner Features Accelerometer-based Gestures, and Screen Orientation
I dont mean short gestures, those gestures were fine length wise, just your arm movements were big if that makes sense, for example the cirlce you made a really big circle, but is it not possible to make a much smaller circle and for the left and right ones, do you have to move it that far to the right or would just flicking it to the side work? Hope that makes sense Paul-Valentin Borza wrote: Those were some gestures that I thought were useful to use - due to lack of imagination for short gestures. If anyone can think to some short gestures, please tell me how these short gestures should look like, and I'll create them. We're not constraint to use those gestures, not at all.

Purchasing Neo Freerunner in the UK
Hope this is the right mailing list to ask this but I am just wondering where people in the UK purchased their FreeRunners from. I'm thinking of getting one in the near future and just wondering if anybody has used the TrueBox distributor or if you bought yours elsewhere, perhaps somewhere else in Europe... I'd just like to see which would be the best place for me to purchase a FreeRunner if there is anywhere else that ships to the UK and will work on a UK phone network (I'm on O2). ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Purchasing Neo Freerunner in the UK
Ok thanks for your help, does anybody know if the price is likely drop some time this year or will there be a new model? How long is the Freerunner going to be the latest model?

I got mine from Truebox, perfectly happy with the service. As far as I'm aware they're currently the only official distributor actually in the UK, but companies like Pulster will ship to the UK. I'm using mine with Orange, which works fine, but I can't comment on whether O2 do anything odd.
