Thank u,<br>
The same idea made me think of a way to
link open moko with real world ..'Can open moko make coffee'..<br>
The interface could be either through usb or RF ..<br>
For the above mentioned ideas like connecting phone to external
circuitries like microcontroller , i think it is a good idea to use
usb...<br>
Anyway i am excited to see this idea implemented some way....<br>

I think that the Neo1973 is both a phone and a portable handheld
device. Using it as a remote control is one of the things I've
personally been interested in this whole thing for. I'd like to think
of the OpenMoko device as an extension of myself into the world of
electronic devices. My own interface with the world ... until such time
as we can get wetware to do brain-computer interfaces, ;).<br>
