In all serious, can people stop recommending the freerunner. It's a sure way of annoying people - recommending an "iphone killer" that doesn't make phone calls.
It's a perfect example of "eyes bigger than" and has not yet evolved into anything useful... sure you can buy it's GPS clone called "DASH" for £300 as well as monthly subscription for maps.. hardly a compliment to "free software". In my opinion they should have focussed on getting the basics right, and evolving it from there. Instead, someone changes the GUI half way through, and then everything needs to be rewritten. Now, don't get me wrong, it'll be a class act once it's stable and release 1 is out of the door.. but having bought a neo1973 in July '07.. well.. I'm a bit gutted. I knew it was a development model, and was hoping to write applications to run ontop of the 'core'. However, the core bloated so big.. it's was just not worth it for me.. Thinking it was my fault, I decided to make good by sending it around a few open sourcerers (some of which are on this list) for them to have a play with. I've had the same response everytime..... So.. don't but a neo until it stabilises - which I really hope it does - Else £300 is alot to spend on a brick to post around friends. Regards.
