I think we should create a To-Do list or a Wish List, so we can track the sort of features that would be nice to have in the phone. I think we should model this on <a href="http://www.neurosaudio.com/">http://www.neurosaudio.com/

<br>when it will be April or later :)<br>See how much of the first design of a IBM-PC or a Personal<br>PalmPilot is still used today.<br><br>Some small inexpensive or cost less improvements could<br>make the product much more stable or better usable:
<br>the last 5-10% perfectness where commercial developers<br>nearly never have the time for - because there is the<br>expo or the christmas-business for what the device must<br>be ready for...<br><br>And when the first devices are out, you can create a second
<br>generation with e.g. wifi, powered USB or USB2 - but smaller<br>changings that change the way to programm or to use the device<br>screen resolution, the way your touch screen work -<br>power saving (no good examples..) are not so good to do.
<br>See how similar the layout of the PalmPilots has been<br>- as far as I know all hacks and programms could be run<br>without modification till PalmOS 5.0<br><br>So I would love to see enough time for the developers to<br>
get full sleep and a free weekend and come back to add<br>some "nice to have" instead of solving "must have" tasks<br><br>- care about battery loading (maybe a small capacitor..)<br> it could help also that data in RAM is not lost when
<br> the power was interrupted.<br> I saw a Windows PDA at my friends desk - oh - new?<br> He said - no, a borrowed PDA with navigation - but<br> I have lost all data in RAM because of power and now<br> I can't use the navigation, because I haven't the
<br> registration key and my partner can't find it now...<br><br> Palm Pilots have a reset - but no function to split<br> the RAM and reset only the system and try to recover<br> parts of the data. Being on the road and being lost
<br> when your mobile device lost it's data is not realy<br> smart.<br><br> So I found it important, that the Neo1973 could work<br> even without battery, just usb-powered.<br><br>- make sound quality even better with a better shielding
<br> or more nf(1-40.000 Hz) clean power supply for the audio<br> part<br><br>- adding an audio in jack<br><br>- some sensors<br><br>- little power for the USB to use USB Memory sicks<br> (and other people MP3-stick) without USB power supply
<br><br>- more nice things which the Neo1973 developers would<br> start think about when they have the freedom to do it<br><br><br>Ok it must not to much time - but Sean, when your team<br>deside the hardware design of the Neo1973 is ready, go
<br>to ask your team<br>- how would you design it, when you would have your<br> ideas and knowledge form the beginning?<br>- what would you like to add for a second version<br>- what would you like to add to the first version,
<br> when we take 2 or 4 more weeks?<br><br>:)<br><br>So I'm very happy that the first version will have BT<br>:))))))))))<br>Which kind of BT - version, class?<br><br>And can somebody explain me if the chip/hardware could
<br>limit the BT software/profile power, or would be everything<br>possible? like:<br>- stereo audio streaming (possible to or from the NEO?)<br>- multiple profiles simultanius? using BT keyboard and<br> BT headset at the same time?
