Thanks David I saw your name and just hit reply.

Firts of all and to not distort the beautifull "first blood" thread of<br>
Doug I have started it in a another one and also maked it OT due in<br>
spite is interesting due is about open hardware is not strictly<br>
Openmoko related. So after the first intro here we go<br>
<br>
Yes I have seen this , maybe I'm too much quiet in the Qi Hardware<br>
List[1], but I read almost all messages there even those I don't<br>
understand about kernel things :), and of course the blog posts, and<br>
hey! I also start translating your(our) wiki to spanish :P. So be sure<br>
I have more than an eye there.<br>
<br>
Having GTK over Frambuffer, also see the benchmark , cool! is a great<br>
great news, you have open a lot of doors for port already existing<br>
apps and to do new developments.Now next step is have QT over<br>
Framebuffer too on Openwrt, (if it's not already done yet) and<br>
possibilities will just multiply :)<br>
<br>
Just a point about the envy, is not just to have a wikipedia in your<br>
pocket, is for have the device itself :) long time waiting that<br>
project B thing , yes geeks have a part of collector , and there is no<br>
much commercialized open gadgets out there so any new one is an object<br>
of desire.<br>
<br>
By the way I'm in touch with Wolfgang and Mirko to have one of those<br>
first Ben NanoNote and start playing with it and spread the results of<br>
the playing to the world, and yes a color/audio version of The<br>
Hitchhiker's Gu... sorry Wikipedia will be a cool cool thing :)<br>
<br>
A lot of beautiful devices will arrive at Tuxbrain soon, at least as<br>
sample, Wikireader, Ben Nanonote, Always Innovating Touchbook,<br>
Openpandora, and now I have in my hands an awesome Sharp<br>
Netwalker(some experiments along with Neo Freerunner soon :P), I wish<br>
having three or four more hands to handle all this beauties at once :)<br>
but at least they have the size to wear them everywhere. But I have no<br>
patience to wait for them without feeling greats amounts of envy when<br>
I saw other has the luck to play with them first. I'ts not so bad :)<br>
this ugly feeling disappears once the courier knocks my door :) and is<br>
fully forgotten once I start sending them to other envious and<br>
anxious geeks to calm their hungry of hacking.<br>
<br>
Steve, I don't know if your are aware about the om-showroom<br>
project[2][3], it stills on early stages but I hope in short I will<br>
have a test site up an running , I was thinking , due NanoNote is<br>
based on Openwrt that is based on ipk packages as is SHR, do a<br>
nanonote-showroom will not be so much difficult. I you think is a good<br>
Idea I can express it in the qi-hardware list. Just same<br>
"requeriments" as om-showroom, Tuxbrain logo as sponsor, and some<br>
"classic" banner about Tuxbrain products at the bottom ;P,<br>
<br>
Love to talk with you again on this list, man ;)<br>
