Hi Laszlo On Sun, Jul 5, 2009 at 2:31 PM, Laszlo KREKACS laszlo.krekacs.l...@gmail.com wrote: If somebody wants to start a Wiki page and vote on accessories that you all want to buy, I was always wondering, why openmoko dont ship an adapter like this[1], instead of the big (hard to carry) cable. Yeah I have one of those. I really liked the design, but they don't seem to fit in many of the new netbooks that are so popular these days. So we decided to make something more flexible. As for the existing design, we spent a ton of money to make the adapters...they had a huge minimum order quantity. Mainly because of a patent issues with the design. So we won't be able to custom make anything anytime soon. But if you know of an existing one you like, please add it the wiki page and we'll keep track of demand and try to source them once it reaches around 100 units. [snip] ps: I would also like to hear any news about your new company Sean. Just how things are going, are stumped somewhere, etc, etc. Well Openmoko is still Openmoko. Nothing fundamentally new here yet. The changes to our company have been more in size and scope, than anything else. Our vision of making great open devices is still the same. We're a much smaller team now. All hyper-focused moving towards our next product. We're very optimistic about the future. To transform an idea into a business takes a lot time and luck. 2009 is year three for our company. This is really the make-or-break year for a startup. At least it works that way in my past experiences. We've been through a lot of turbulence these past six months...personally it was extremely hard on me. I can't help but feel that we're close to getting lucky. Probably your interested in hearing more about Project B. Please give me a few more months to talk about that. We're in the middle of some sensitive negotiations. So we can't share project details publicly yet - at least without jeopardizing important future relationships for us. Exclusivity and non-disclosure agreements are realities of the business world. I hope you all can understand our secrecy at times around product development. Rest assured, the results will be open for everyone. If there's anything specific you're interested in, please feel free to ask. I'll do my best to share what I can. -Sean ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Anyone know a store that sells FreeRunner accs in the US
If somebody wants to start a Wiki page and vote on accessories that you all want to buy, I was always wondering, why openmoko dont ship an adapter like this[1], instead of the big (hard to carry) cable. I would like to see an adapter a bit longer, and have a flexible part in it, like 1 cm long. That way it wouldnt stress the freerunner connection inside of Freerunner. What I would really *love* to have is an adapter, with two output, one for the charging, and one for plugging usb device in it (3g dongle, pendrive, printer, etc, etc)[2]. The wiki page it lists as Y-cable[3]. But in a size, that I could carry it in my coin purse.

Laszlo KREKACS wrote: I also used up all the spray (all the 20ml spray;-) Just for everyone's information, plain water works just as well--you can just fill the bottle back up. They used to ship it without any solution, with instructions to just use water, and it always worked fine for me (although having a spray bottle is nicer). Also, if the bubble is showing up in the same place with each application, it's probably caused by a piece of dust. You need to make sure everything is very clean. It's very easy for a piece of dust to get in there while you're applying. I'm not sure if it will be possible after it has dried, though. I've never tried to reapply later (and I think they say you shouldn't, if I remember correctly).

Only the metal clip is deformed on mine... I keep using it (even if I cant put it safely on my belt), because it saved my neo multiple times (falling against the floor, the concrete floor, on the street, etc). If they were release a magnetic metal clip design, I would buy a new one;) (so when the metal clip wants to deform, it simply let the phone fall off (I could use a string to not fall more then 10-20cm)) Anyway. I strongly suggest you the leather case, but the full body protector isnt necessary in my view. Select a screen protector, and thats it (I really hope, there are better screen protectors out there). And buy a screen protector large enough to be able to try it more then once.
