That makes 5 if I haven't dropped any. We're already at >40 for 700+, after only 2 weeks. And it seems the whole thing is just about to get momentum, with first mentions at facebook and even German c't computer mag, and new visibility via the FPTF thread.

I'm working on website for Neo900 project: http://neo900.org/

I have one question: is someone able to do professional-looking photos of N900 on white background, just like the one that's already there, and release it to us, preferably on some free license? Or maybe someone knows someone who can?

The photo used right now is temporary for obvious reasons... If we want to go with some crowdfunding way, we're going to need these photos and full rights for using them.

If someone is interested, please PM me. Our biggest need is some stock photo of N900 from the front view, with keyboard slided out.

I'm not sure that having the exact wavelength is all that much of a problem. But I am worried that, while it may be possible to send CIR signals using IrDA hardware (by "slowing down" the on/off pulses in one manner or another), it could be much harder to go the other way; does hardware exist that can drive a CIR-style LED at the speeds needed for IrDA? Will the output of a CIR-power LED oversaturate the IrDA receiver? (I'm kind of guessing that the IrDA power levels are as low as they are in order to avoid this kind of oversaturation problem; otherwise, nobody would have ever created an interface that forced you to place two devices a few centimeters apart in order to function properly.) Also, could an IrDA rx be able to read signals from a wide range of existing CIR remote controls? (If not, use as a "learning remote" becomes impossible.)

I do agree that having both a powerful CIR signal along with the ability to communicate over IrDA all in one package would be nirvana. I also believe that if it were that easy, someone would have already done it twenty years ago when IrDA was designed; it would have made adoption of the technology much quicker (and I'd suspect that it would still be popular today).

In any case, please do test the hardware chosen for the Neo900 before you finalize it!

If you don't mind the red background here is one http://maemo.qwazix.com/photos/fullsize/DSC_3548.JPG

You can create a 100% width red stripe so it can blend in. I am sorry but I can't create new photos right now with a white background, though somebody with gimp skills could clear that background.

Feel free to browse the parent folder for more maemo images.

ok, what do i need to install on my n900 to view this file? have d-bus switchboard.

That is a gimp format bitmap so easy debian then the gimp. Rather use a DESKTOP etc....

edit: with the neo900 web site and others directing attention here I hope forum registration will be sorted.....

Here's PNG version:

BTW. I started importing our community photos into http://neo900.org/photos/ so we'll have some photo repository from which we can use photos without worrying about copyright infringements

Wooo! Good Job!

and why not for a new nokia n900 :

Display 5 inches 1920x1080
keyboard

Qualcom snapdragon 800 and adreno 330
3gb ram
3000 mah
bluetoth 3,0
dlna
fm radio and sender fm
infrared
gps
wifi card with inyector possibility aircrack how older n900
16mpx camera with new stability capture and full hd video
front camera 2mpx

and others features equal than n900

and yes 700 eur for a new n900 with maemo 5, I not pay 700eur for a new n900 with a cortex a8 cpu.
