at same time an "official" distributor loist...

well.. i think that was already answered somewhere in the thread in
other words, but here my short version:

afaik there will be 2 possibilities:

- order at the openmoko us based webshop.
 - pay in us$
 - pay the (to europe quite high but not unusual) higher shipping fee
 - if not in the us: pay the VAT/sales tax of the target country on
recieving the package to the ups guy (usually in cash)
 - use a CC (currently JCB, VISA, MASTER. _no_ AMEX afaik)

- order at a local distributor
 - pay the local currency
 - pay for shipping if you do not pick it up yourself
 - pay the regional tax/vat of your county directly with the
device and
shipping

so the bottomline is: us customers as well as worldwide can very
easily
order directly at openmoko. but if you do not want to have the
hassle of
 transatlantic shipping, different currencies etc or want local
warranty, buy at a local distributor.

i guess due to the shipping costs its cheaper and less hassle to
order
single devices directly at a distributor. also these could have
different payment methods, but thats their decision.


kind regards

Re: Calculate cardinal points from GPS?

Hello!

First I would like to say that I'm a newbie when it comes to GPS, so
please don't bash (or korn ;)) me if my thinking is rather stupid.

I was thinking if was possible to calulate the cardinal points (N,E,S,W)
by the difference (in longitude and latitude) between your current
location and a fixed one. By doing so we should have our compass, at
least in my mind ;).

So what do you think guys? Is this even possible?

P.S Hmm I think that I just understood that this isn't possible, at
least not with just one fixed location as difference :/. Maybe it's
possible with let's say 10 fixed coordinates as reference?


Best regards

I think that a GPS receive some information about cardinal point... So 
it will be more simple to read these information than calculate some 
difference... But, as I say, I'm not sure :(
