(Jumping for joy!!)
Yipee! Since you're making it, Just something with a dark background, maybe a little fly by action and some shiny stuff. :D
I've attached a copy of our logo, which is actually a 3d object, but I don't have a copy of it. Hopefully you can work with it.

I'd love to have a first person view of pics of the RIM, Apple, WinMo, WebOS, and Android logos side by getting shot down like the ducks at a carnival target shooting game. Spin camera view to view the N900 with a smoking gun pointed at the camera on its screen, which vanishes and is replaced by our logo, which zooms in to fill the actual shot onscreen, and then the words appear underfoot like in the logo pic I uploaded.

That's pretty elaborate, but I'll take whatever you give me, since I have plenty ideas but little in the way of animation skills. You may have other ideas that are just as cool. Feel free to put your name or organization on the screen to get credit.;)

i would also like to know if it's possible to disable the videos and have a clear black or text output boot. Also, what does it use for displaying the boot video and at which point does it show it?

Re: Boot videos thread
 

wow, sounds really of general interest... *sarcasm*

:D

(anyway, the more boot videos available, the better, even if I would never use one branded to a specific website.. if he's ok to create this one, good for you!)

i can promise you our 100,000 mebers will generally be interested. I'd like to see one for every Maemo subcommunity. Many of the Maemo sites would love a custom boot screen.

Re: Boot videos thread
 

I got some pretty nice ideas what the boot video would look like. I'm going to pick up my unit in half an hour so I'll probably be pretty busy playing with it for a few days. But I promise, you'll get your video ;)

(doing the MCHammer dance in celebration...) congrats on getting the N900! Very worthy hacker tool. OS is to die for.

Hey all,

I did a boot video, let me know what you think and then I can upload a downloadable version on my website.
