Hi Robert,

I've been following this project for a while now (I'm waiting the
release of the public version of the Neo in October to get one), most
of the useful info is on the wiki. I won't recommend the chat room on
freenode. It's far from being as interesting as #LAD ;-)

Anyways... What I think is that is would make perfect studio remote
controle (in addition to a phone) since it has a touch screen.

Fact : Did you know that Apple had the idea of the iPhone a few weeks
after Sean Moss-Pultz (the project leader at FIC) made a public
presentation of the openmoko project ? Funny...

BTW, I managed to build a jack package for an emulated Openmoko system
in a matter of minutes. I'm sure I've lost the package since then, but
just so you know jack runs out of the box on an arm (if compiled
without any optimization of course).

CCed to LAD since some people might find this interesting...

Cheers !
