My older post was a joke, really, seriously, I am interested in the first post in this part :

for you to buy the GTA04-NeoNinehundred board only, instead of the complete Neo900 device, to upgrade any N900 you already may have)

Now, if we're going to be able to connect external stereo microphone via jack line-in on device itself, then it's a heaven. Build-in stereo mic, albeit not so crucial, is nice, too.

Neo900 guys: don't add it. If it adds more people who record concerts even though there are cameras and hundreds of other people who are recording it on their phone, and block other people who actually want to enjoy the concert don't add it. And it adds to the price, right?

Really now?
And this is what? A honest contribution/request on how to define the device requirement specs?
C'mon! And no, this won't cost a cent, as I already elaborated in a previous post in this very thread :-(*). We will not drop or ignore options that we/you already paid for, not based on weird pseudo-moral and not based on individual preferences driven by other considerations.
And I already explained that we won't go for cheap since we can't anyway, so we will go for feature monster, as long as it doesn't break maemo5 compatibility.

I was inder the impression that a kick starter funded project would include all of that, you give them the specs and they help figure out the amout of captial that is required based on the specs. Telling them that you want the hardware to be maemo compatible goes with out saying.

I think we need somewhere for a Neo900 wiki, mostly to get some stuff going about software porting issues but also hardware stuff.

gentlemen, i thought it would be nice to have a comparison table for the specification updates(features,hardwares etc).
so we have the clue how different would it be side by side.

like the ubuntu edge did a table vs samsung vs iphone.
instead, make it n900 vs neo900

good idea / bad idea?

Not to sure that will help due to the cost difference of hardware base on consumer volume. just because some other device has it does not mean we can implement it because it is cheaper for a huge conglomerate to afford certain hardware based on such a large volume of devices, It would be nice to see the options people have posted in some neat kind of spread sheet just for the neo900

I agree with jonwil, its difficult to read the entire thread again and again every day to catch up.

A wiki along with this discussion thread would be helpful.

good idea / bad idea?

If you want, you, of course, can do it. But there is an small difference between Ubuntu Edge campaign and our. Ubuntu Edge is (OK, it isn't, and probably never will be) HighEnd.
It wasn't targeting geeks, it was targeting people who want HighEnd.

Neo900 is not HighEnd. 1Ghz CPU / 512 M - RAM compared with SGS IV or new iPhone? No. This is not a good idea.

The Neo900 is trying to be HW'n'SW hackable - linux ( NOT Android ) pocket PC (NOT phone).

If you want to create comparison table, compare it with N900, N9 and maybe GTA* devices.
Remember:: Our target users are Linux users.

EDIT: argh, sorry, i didn't read your post carefully. That's especially what you mean

>> The Wiki page: Sure! Good idea! Wiki is better place for "project overview" and "progress".
