Well, OpenMoko still is mainly a phone platform, not a gps platform. ;)
The Neo will me sold als phone with the option to install software, not
because of its GPS chip.
There will be much free software which will make the Neo a great smartphone
(hopefully ^^).
TomTom ported its software to series6
Finger Splash looks very cool and useful.
Imho a cool idea.
@[EMAIL PROTECTED]: You are right, abcde... keyboards can be used for
blind typing. But not on a only-touchscreen-phone.
I used a Nokia 7710 for about 1.5 years and typing blind was simply
impossible.
Theres no feedback at all.

this actually depends on where you're located.

Well, I hope you're right! And I hope enough Neos get sold that it
becomes worth their while.
I'd like to have good maps, and as you implied, OpenStreetMap (OSM) is
probably years - maybe decades - from having comprehensive maps of the
world. "Much digitization required" :-).

One of reasons why my friend bought HTC Artemis phone was GPS unit and
I tried dasher for 2 minutes and I write faster with dasher than on my
mobile phone.
I also would like the two extra side buttons for dasher but we don't
need it. We have the aux button. In pressed mode, it can mean down,
and in released mode, it can mean up. I know I will use dasher on my
neo wh
Just one problem. If we only have one button, there is no way to
adjust the speed.

On my laptop I have this little joystick button in the middle of the
keyboard. If we could get a button like that on the side of the neo
phone, dasher would be great.

What is wrong with just using the stylus?
I've tried it with my Wacom tabled, Dasher works great!
If your using an on screen keyboard, you'll need the stylus anyway.

I just watched the Google Video and I found it to be a very cool item. The

Openstreetmap is till now not a alternative to other proprietary map

A simple app to add data for the OpenStreetMap project on OpenMoko
will probably help a lot.
Absolutely. And I'm sure several of these will come into being.
If you want reuse, however, you should think about writing it in Java.
Believe that there will be good Java ME implementations for OpenM

This is a bit OT but, if you are using the stylus, some people may find
it more efficient to use simplified
Of course writing with the stylus is better (especially because dasher is
much better in 2D mode than in 1D), but you need 2 hands for that.
But a trackstick (the mouse replacement of notebooks, mainly thinkpads) on
the side would be crazy :)
I hope future FIC/OpenMoko-Phones will have more button

Many fingerprint sensors that would fit where the button is have a
navigation function. They operate much like the touchstick, or a mini
touchpad, when not capturing a fingerprint. They are gaining traction in
the tablet and ultra-mobile PC market for doing scrolling and simple
navigation when
