No.  Simplistically seen from an Australian perspective UMTS allows
download speeds up to 384Kb, and 3G allows speeds with a current upper
limit of about 7MB and a current infrastructure limitation of about
14MB, depending on the provider. 
I have never seen a connection at this speed, but download speed in the
1MB to 3MB range is not uncommon.
As far as I can establish EDGE is only used by the local '3' service
provider, but they seem to use non-standard SIMS, which do not work in
all phones, so it would be an unattractive option locally.
More importantly data on UMTS/2.5G/3G is charged per Kb, whereas GPRS is
normally charged in terms of time spent, which makes it very
unattractive.  Vodafone for instance offers 5GB of mobile data for $49
(AU) per month, but happily charges $1 per minute for GPRS, where it is
hard to beat 5Kb download speeds.
To further complicate matters our providers cover quad band between
them.

Glamo and CPU both have camera interfaces that are either unused or
re-used for other stuff.  I2C connection to camera module is only for
settings like "brightness", bulk pixel data comes down a parallel bus
that you have nothing to connect to.

Best bet for this if you are interested is the same story for all other
peripherals -- USB host mode on the USB socket, nice and neat, power is
provided... detachable...

Re: What will be in GTA03?

2008-08-11 Thread Ben Wilson
Most of the interesting things you can do with a built-in camera are not 
practical if you need to
actually find and plug in a usb camera attachment every time you need 
it. Not to mention how ugly they look.  

A built-in camera is at the top of my wish-list for future GTAXX 
products. There are so many
other things you can do with a camera than general pictures of people 
and places.
-bar code reading
-facial recognition  
-Machine vision
-3D environment mapping, (with multiple neos networked)
-OCR
And they are just a few.

I very much doubt adding a camera would cost the $200 you estimated, i 
expect it would be more like $50 or less
(assuming standard cellphone lens quality).

But, to be honest, i think getting GTA02 stable as an 
everyday-developer-phone is the most important thing right now.
There isn't much point adding more and more features if the current 
phone/features can't be used reliably.

Ben.

I've got a beagle board with debian running on it now, i'll test the
video output when im back to germany. Judgeing what i've seen at
LinuxTag, the 2D performance is great even on 1280x720 (they had no
accelerated X running).

So using the OMAP3530 and leaving the 3D stuff unused seems to be an
option.

Please do some research before making baseless comments.  Camera
modules do not cost $200.  More like $10.  Less in quantity.  See
here:

http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8668

Further, their useful for far more than just taking photos.  They make
great barcode readers - even for 2D barcodes like UPS uses.  GPS +
camera = geotagged photos.  Clever developers could even use one to
supplement input from accelerometers.

Since this phone will not be offered with any contracts (at least at first, 
depending on how successful it gets), I don't think people will be willing to 
pay an extra $200 just to get a camera in there.  It's possible for a USB 
camera/webcam to be attached to the phone when it's in host mode.  If you want 
to see that, you're more than welcome to go create it yourself.  The CAD files

You can already plug USB gamepads into the unit.  Making one that actually 
connects to the unit so you don't have to awkwardly balance the phone on your 
lap or something should also be easy enough for an aftermarket manufacturer, 
but for now you're stuck with duct tape :p

This is a software issue, not a hardware one.  There's a GPS in the GTA02 and 
if the right software ever gets created then it will be able to do what you

I would like a cute japanese girl's phone number too, but I think that's up to

It would be preferable if the cute japanese girl was really into open source

nice chip.. basically.. but see this thread:
http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?showtopic=42144
and try to find any specs or documentation about the included powerVR
SGX530... have fun... its closed.
thus also pandora will probably not have open drivers. search for
statements about that. i haven't found anything that states about how
open that machine will be at all.

in short: the whole 2d/3d accel in that chip would currently be useless
for us.

openmoko took opensource serious till now, pushing boundaries further
where we could.
we want debuggable architectures. means no binary drivers on the app cpu
for anything for sure. not in userspace, and for sure not in the kernel.

this was nagging many people on gta01 with gps before we got rid of that
with gta02.
hopefully we will never make that error again.

Camera - atleast 2mp -- A camera which can support addon lenses and

screen 3.5 or 4"
EDGE please if not 3G
USB 2.0 OTG that will automatically come with OMAP3530 A smaller stylus
- this stylus is good but not for every one please provide support in
the casing for a smaller stylus  as well Rectangular casing -- the lower
portion I think can be easily flattened and upper portion can also be
done with some effort though. May be a recess in PCB for GPS antenna
than putting it on top of it 3.5mm jack -- my current phone has one
Better battery may be some 2000 or 2300mAh will be cool even if it makes
it a little fatter. A device like this must have good battery backup The
kind of framework the project is going towards I would like more RAM may
be 512MB LPDDR Last thing I want is expansion option(this one also is
there in wiki wishlist). My idea is to use any connector that internally
uses USB.
The device can be given to the consumer with a dummy module fitted that
just gives the mini-usb  But possibilities are limitless 
   -- removable camera -- user may buy the type of camera he wants from

Not replying to what I asked. The comments were mostly offtopic.

Just because gta02 has them doesn't mean that gta03 will have then as
well. AFAIK it is subject to changes... and some things have already.

1) Sorry if you perceived my post as spam. I am interested in the
project and thus find it important to have an answer to those
questions. However, I can't follow it as intensely as you do.

2) I did read several threads, but I still didn't got a clear picture
of the situation.

3) The ml has lots of activity. It makes sense to make that
information centralized instead of scatered (and outdated) across
dozens of messages. That was why I also suggested an update in the
wiki http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GTA
Or is it better for every person who may be interested in openmoko
devices to spend hours reading and searching, and in the end have no
concrete answer?

4) My questions were pretty straightforward, mosty Y/N answers. A
knowing user could answer them in 2-5 minutes if he wanted to.

you spam it?

What will be in GTA03?

2008-08-09 Thread Monkey D. Luffy
(no "reply" so far... so a little bump)


This is more or less my wish list... So what will be in?

1) camera (decent one, 3MP or more)
Will it be possible to record movies with sound? What resolution?

2) buttons on the damn thing :p
SNES and GBx all the way :)
Or at the very least, sell the GTA03 with an optional control pad:
http://www.icontrolpad.com/ But try to make it as small as possible
(maybe the control pad overlapping the case) so it doesn't get t big.

3) holder for a small plastic stylus. With an optinal string
connecting both, so that if you drop it by chance it doesn't get lost
forever in some crack to hell.
If possible, keep this in mind if selling the icontrolpad thingy (so
the stylus doesn't get trapped there).

4) GPS
Will I be able to keep maps updated for free?
Will it be possible to make use of google maps, in the sense of having
the indications on how to get from A to B?

5) USB connector (USB 2.x), in order to connect the phone to the computer

6) WiFi

7) accelerometers

8) bluetooth

9) a cute chinese or japanese girl ^_^
Well, at least their phone numbers :p


I heard about xv and glamo and what else... What I need to know is:
Will I be able to watch videos or play games (with sound on both) at
640x480 resolution?


What will the final price be? In Europe?

And when will it be ready?
You drive people crazy waiting for a final product with decent
features (e.g. camera)
I need a *working* new phone... yesterday :(
(must... resist... iphone...)

Maybe all this info should be on your wiki and wikipedia?
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GTA


Best wishes for everything!


PLEASE CC ME in your reply.


PS: suggestion for next phones: Dual-Sim
