Re: Let us impact the material world
iPod is an artifact for music lovers. Music is part of their lifestyle. The Neo is part of the lifestyle of every engineer that I work with at Openmoko. Coding is their life. Just like I share music with my friends through an ipod, these people proudly present their creations through a Neo. Whether that be a full suited application or a blinking light, it really is a pleasure to see things constantly 'being born'. I'm seeing people impact the material world everyday, in their ...

Re: Community Initiative GTK
Basically Openmoko has stopped the development of the GTK stack in order to start a new stack called ASU. There are some 10.000 developers for GTK who can start any time making software for the Neo while there are very few developers for ASU, maybe 50. ASU is only used on the Neo whereas your GTK apps will run on the desktop or on the new MID devices like the ASUS eeePC right out of the box. Naturally for an open source developer it is a difference if the software will run on some hundred Neos ...

Re: Freerunner @ pulster.eu Shop
As discussed, the headset is mostly useless. Phone calls are impossible and it is a low impedance one thus lacking any bass frequencies. Plus the cable is quite stiff and while walking the earbuds will inevitably fall out of your ears. You can find them on ebay for one or two dollars new. The pouch is quite nice but lacks a clip to wear it on a belt. Probably you find a cheaper and better suitable one in a local shop.

Re: Fast questions about GTA03
Acceleration is simply using GPU for graphics operations instead of CPU. 3D accelerator accelerates 3D operations (rendering 3D objects) and 2D accelerator accelerates 2D operations (bit blits, line drawing, clipping etc.). On modern computers, 2D graphics are simulated using 3D without perspective, because 2D accelerators were almost dropped years ago by graphic cards vendors. I hope I didn't simplified it too much. ...

Re: Fast questions about GTA03
That would be pretty cool to use the FreeRunner as a "window" to a 360 scene like this. Hold the phone in front of you and spin around: the accelerometers could detect movement, and adjust the view as you rotate. Angle it up or down, and the view would again correspond.

Re: Fast questions about GTA03
in a nutshell: 3D acceleration builds quickly 3D models on the display. Displaying a 3D application on non-accelerated video is slow and CPU (i.e. battery) intensive. 3D applications include games but not only. my personal interest for the OpenMoko is as a device to display Virtual Reality (VR). That's a 3D application where a picture is mapped on a sphere or cube and rotated by the user. 3D-accelerated displays have a much higher frame per second (FPS) resulting in smoother viewing or ...

Re: Fast questions about GTA03
the glamo chip is 3D but there is no driver on openmoko for using it. due to the way it is connected to the cpu the glamo chip slows the freerunner *down*. despite the faster cpu the freeruner is ~50% slower than the 1973. the cpu is blocked during any kind of graphics i/o and there have been discussions to simply remove it in order to speed the freerunner up. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing ...
