Like I said previously [when this press release was posted], the editors mixed 
this up with the display of the Dash Express.

The specs I saw were not in the Wiki.  They were at:

http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2393777675.html

Additional Neo FreeRunner specs include:
Processor -- Samsung S3C2442 500MHz
RAM -- 128MB
Flash -- 256MB
Display -- 4.3-inch diagonal 640 x 480 VGA Color TFT LCD
Graphics -- SMedia 3362-based 3D graphics acceleration
Accelerometers -- 2 x 3D accelerometers
Audio -- "high-quality" audio codec
USB -- 1 x version 1.1
Cellular -- 2.5G tri-band GPRS/GSM (900MHz or 850MHz)
WiFi -- 802.11b/g WiFi
Bluetooth -- version 2.0
GPS -- AGPS (assisted global positioning system) receiver

I dunno...making a mistake of 2.8" versus 4.3" is pretty hard to do. 
Methinks I shall stay suspicious.

Doing a bit of scratchpad design work, a 4.3 inch diagonal screen would
result in a device of 3"x4" with 1/4" casing margins on the sides and 3/4"
(thumb width) case end margins (ala the iPhone).  If the device was kept to
1/2" in thickness, it still would fit comfortably in a standard clothing
pocket with about 1/2" to 3/4" to spare.  One centimeter thick would be
**uber-sexy**.  If such a handset with an open software stack became
available, I would drop my iPhones in box and mail them back to Steve along
with an impolitely worded note telling him where he can stick them. 

To reinterate, moving forward with a 2.8 inch diag. screen at any
resolution in a post iPhone world would be a major mistake in my frequently
disregarded opinion.

Thanks for the hard (and difficult at times) work that you do Michael.

GTA02 = Neo FreeRunner

Thus both are members of the Neo family.

Well, my name is Pietro (italian), if i'm right (may be michael can 
confirm) i think that:
neo 1973 is the phone, GTA01, GTA02, Phase0 every version is "neo 1973", 
gta02 is also named FreeRunner to have a more friendly name.


Waiting a confirmation or not :D

it's pretty much standard practice, most products have internal and
external names.

take jeeps for example, you almost never hear the names "wrangler" or
"cherokee" but you hear a lot about TJ's, YJ's and Xj's

So GTA02 would be:
Brand: Neo
Model: FreeRunner
Version: GTA02

Correct?

JW, Michael -

we had an internal discussion about this and I think everybody is on  
the same page now:


GTA01 = Neo 1973
GTA02 = Neo FreeRunner

Brand: Neo
Model: 1973
Version: gta01

'gta' for all gta-series class devices

Hope this helps, going forward we will try to get better at keeping  
internal (engineering) names and marketing names separate, because  
they travel at different speeds :-)

I haven't had a chance to triple-check, but I'm 99% sure it's this:

GTA01 = Neo 1973
GTA02 = Neo FreeRunner

Thus both are members of the Neo family.

It seems to me there is now a clear structure

Hey, i think that you are a bit confused, asi've understood the  
names are:


Neo 1973 -> the phone, gta01 or gta02, is always the neo 1973
gta01xxx  -> first version of the phone for devs
gta02xxx  -> second version of the phone that has to be released
soon (oh we are waiting for it... :D)
FreeRunner  -> another name to refer to the gta02xxx just to have a
friendly name instead of GTA02

Is it right?


yes.

also all the drivers got fixed just recently to reflect that original
naming scheme.

Neo1973 is a class of devices, not only one specific model.
gta01 and gta02 are models.
FreeRunner a synonym for gta02 release version

kind regards

IIRC MediaWiki allows you to use the following as the content of a page:

#REDIRECT [[Freerunner newpage]]

So when you want to redirect "GTA02 newpage" to "Freerunner newpage", you
can use that without breaking any links.

JW -

Yes, I think you can move ahead with those changes.
Let's see what others are saying...


It seems to me there is now a clear structure

1) Neo1973 has internal codename (GTA01xxx)
2) Freerunner has internal codename (GTA02xxx)


That is correct.


Is there someone overlooking wiki structure?


We just hired a full time editor for the wiki. Her name is Brenda and  
she will start working after Chinese New Year (mid February). She has  
many years experience publishing and writing technical books.
I'd say give her a few weeks to familiarize herself with the whole  
thing, then she will slowly start to 'edit' the wiki by cleaning up  
broken links, rearranging/grouping content, maybe doing some  
translations into Chinese, etc.
If you like please get back to me around mid-February so I can  
introduce you to Brenda (she doesn't have an openmoko e-mail account  
yet).

We are very determined to get the wiki into better shape.
Brenda will help as an editor.
We also try to improve things on the server. The wiki version we are  
using needs to be updated and improved. Search is abysmal. The theme  
doesn't look good. etc.
But we have great content, and we will push more internal content into  
the wiki as well.


Hope this helps, thanks a lot for your initiative!
Feel free to make the changes you suggested, at least from my  
perspective it sounds good.
