I can see the TI being closed with the GSM firmware, because its illegal to release to the public, because people like me who would write a monitor driver for it, no that it would be terribly useful with Digital spread spectrum radio. The thing I am concerned with is when I bought my Neo no one

I see the concern of using up all the CPU time and wasting power. It would be great if we could have binary patches as downloads with software & an architecture that could update all the firmware. It would be even better if we had enough information about the chips in concern that we could up

2008-02-09 Thread Wolfgang Spraul
Andy (or anyone else), if the whole back of the Neo would be a solar panel, and you would put it back side up into direct sunlight, say for 5 hours, how much could that charge the battery? Could you operate the phone without a battery (and without USB) power if you were standing in sunlight?

A 0.8x1.6" cell delivers 0.3 amps @0.55 VDC if you do the math, ~10 would be needed for the right voltage. Obviously some control is needed. IF this was made the remaining voltage could be used to power the device while not consuming much power from the battery. This could add a significant amou
