The multifunction Other Half mod prototype for the n900 is out.

Havent you always thought that your beloved n900 was a little bit too thin?
Maybe not geeky enough?
Perhaps it needed a little bit more battery power, more processing power?
Havent we always dreamed about a portable hackable computer build in our phone
with an up to date linux kernel independent of your phone,
so you can play with different distros/software without loosing your phone functions?
Anyone a new record button just for sound?
Or a button for zoom in/out maybe left/right click maybe?
For some of our fellow hackers the devices software and hardware may be familiar.
It maybe even be possible to port wickets up to date debian_n900 distro or maemo to it.

How much? Where? What is this magic device?
Dont worry we only take the best..

Frankenstein Productions presents the (funny) N900CoreDuo prototype:

adding a 1320mAh Battery capacity on top your already existing 1320mAh
a second TI OMAP3430 with 32GB emmc and 256MB dedicated ram exclusive for user applications.

enough said. Time for pictures






This mod covers your camera, but luckily the expansion delivers a nearly as good camera.

Coming hopefully soon the Neo900CoreDuo!

what do i need (in principle) to do this mod?
sugru
a 5 pin mini connector (2 for battery + 3 for usb (+ground shared with battery))
a switch fitting in the usb connectors space
and the secret, difficult to get, expensive abandoned special device with (all 3 important properties!): a defect usb port, a cracked screen and a defect sim chip.
hot iron
pliers or similar tool
