Hey! I think it would be a great idea if the core team - and the community too - would take some time (no matter how much it is) and would document every small aspect of OpenMoko. From kernel to GUI. Usually those projects that are really well documented are more sucessfull. Fast hardware is cool

Openstreetmap is essentially useless. I say this as someone who is an active contributor. In _many_ years, it may be a viable alternative, but as an example, my local town of 4 people (Glenrothes) was entirely missing, and Dundee (140K) had only one road. There are hot-spots where it is loca

I have estimated memory bandwidth in following way: 480 (width) * 640 (height) * 3 (bytes per pixel, not sure) * It's 2 25 (fps) == 2304 bytes/s (22Mb/s) 60 fps however. What kind of FPS is that 60? Display refresh rate? Yes, the native refresh of the LCD is 60Hz
