09:37.54Stepan... maybe umts is just not attractive enough
09:38.12guaquai just hear it's expensive
09:39.13Stepanin germany there is a umts flatrate for 40eur. thats about the same as a normal broadband flatrate, too.
09:39.46Stepanliving out of hotel rooms for most of the month, this is kind of attractive.

09:43.42guaquasomewhere i read or heard that only the rojalty fees for umts would be ~50 euros per phone
09:43.44Stepangerman market is a bit distorted through the benefits you get when you sign a 1 or 2 yr contract
09:43.51guaquadon't know if this is true though
09:43.53Stepanyou get most phones for 1-150eur
09:44.06guaquanot umts phones :)
09:44.12Stepanroyalty 50eur. wow
09:44.24guaquathis is just a hunch, not sure about it
09:44.50guaquathey've started selling those subsidised phones in finland too
09:44.55guaquawith 2 year contracts
09:45.11guaquayou can get flatrate data for 10 euros/month
09:45.12Stepanguaqua: with O2 you get the Sony Ericson W880i UMTS for 9.99 (without contract its roughly 500 bucks)
09:45.26guaqua:S
09:46.06Stepanthe flatrate itself? 10eur?
09:46.10Stepanamazing!
09:46.11guaquayeah
09:46.21guaquait's not unlimited umts though
09:46.35Stepangermany is a developing country in the communication scene
09:46.58guaquait's 128kbit/s flatrate
09:47.05guaqua3g, edge and gprs
09:47.17guaquathough with gprs you are limited to technical maximum speeds
09:47.31Stepanfor 40eur you really get unlimited umts her, they claim. but i have no idea about availability

09:49.25Stepan128kbit is fine for what I do, but I think with GPRS I usually get 9600 or something
09:49.33Stepan(might be totally wrong though)
09:49.50guaquai think gprs is supposed to be like 43 kbit/s

14:29.11LuitvD|}
14:29.12LuitvDIt looks like FIC is going to develop another device for OpenMoko quite soon, with the (code)name <b>HXD8</b>. On May 26th (GMT) Sean [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-May/005407.html confirmed] the existence of the device, said hardware support was almost done and cleverly told us to wait anxiously.
14:29.16LuitvD==Hardware==
14:29.18LuitvDFrom the information found in the [https://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/doc/hardware/HXD8v011/ hardware documentation] and [https://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/target/kernel/patches/ kernel patches] parts of the subversion repositories, the following specifications can be predicted.
14:29.24LuitvD===Processor===
14:29.26LuitvDAccording to https://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/target/kernel/patches/s3c2440-nand-disable-hwecc.patch the HXD8 will feature an [http://www.samsung.com/Products/Semiconductor/common/product_list.aspx?family_cd=MSC0102 S3C2440], capable of running up to 400MHz. The features are the same as the [http://www.samsung.com/products/semiconductor/MobileSoC/ApplicationProcessor/ARM9Series/S3C2410/S3C2410.htm S3C2410] plus a camera interface.
14:29.31LuitvD*GPIO Assignments: https://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/doc/hardware/HXD8v011/gpio.txt
14:29.31SpeedEvilYou don't really need the light sensor, if you have a camera.
14:29.33LuitvD===Flash===
14:29.34LuitvDAccording to the currently available hardware patches, the device supports 1 NAND Flash device of up to 4G. (uncertain about what kind of G that is. Could be 4Gb (which makes about 0,5GB), could be 4GB).
14:29.36SpeedEvilGenerally.
14:29.38LuitvD===RAM===
14:29.40LuitvD128MB Random Access Memory, of which 2MB is used as a Framebuffer. https://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/target/u-boot/patches/uboot-hxd8.patch
14:29.43LuitvD===GSM/GPRS===
14:29.43SpeedEvilAs you can use the camera as a light sensor.
14:29.45LuitvDNot much info yet.
14:29.47LuitvD===LCD Module (LCM)===

14:29.57LuitvDthat wasn't my intention :P
14:29.59LuitvDhttp://www.ovt.com/data/parts/pdf/Brief7670V2.2.pdf
14:30.03LuitvDSpeedEvil: that type light sensor is mostly used for backlight setting
14:30.12LuitvD(according to it's datasheet)
14:30.23SpeedEvilHmm. It's just a single pixel?
14:30.23buzvga sensors are next to useless in my view
14:30.34PhilippeLuitvD: that is what they use light sensors for usually
14:30.48SpeedEvilIMO - not. VGA sensors are quite good enough for snaps of stuff.
14:30.57LuitvDPhilippe: yes, but it's either for that or for exposure prediction
14:30.58*** join/#openmoko Bish (n=arne@pd9e55ef6.dip.t-dialin.net)
14:30.58buzthe thing does 30fps
14:31.08SpeedEvilFor example, buisness cards, or 'photo notes'
14:31.08buzi still think itps probably some sort of recorder more than snapshot cam
14:31.11LuitvDPhilippe: nothing implies either of those
14:31.28PhilippeLuitvD: well it could also be used for both :-)
14:32.00LuitvDPhilippe: yes, placement of the sensor will tell for which one of those functions it is used
14:32.16buzbusiness cards in vga?
14:32.17SpeedEvilDepending where the camera points.
14:32.22buznot really helpful for ocr
14:32.24SpeedEvilSnapping them I mean.
14:32.37buzmost ocr phones have 2mpixel
14:32.39SpeedEvilOh come on, it's 200DPI or so.
14:32.51LuitvDbuz: it's good enough... interleaving helps a lot :P
14:33.06buzocr sucks even with 600 dpi flatbeds
14:33.13SpeedEvilUmm - no.
14:33.18SpeedEvilNot decent OCR.
14:33.33SpeedEvilAnd free OCR != decent OCR alas.
14:33.37buzthats true
14:33.48buzbut decent ocr uses a lot of language processing that doesnt work very well on names
14:33.59LuitvDah well, who needs buisinesscards when there's semacode :P
14:34.27LuitvDsemacode tags can easily be interpreted with CIF cameras
14:34.32SpeedEvilEven just having an image of the card is often handy.
14:34.38VilleWittHas there been any talks about baseing the IM client on telepathy?
14:34.38alorilVilleWitt: See http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FAQ (Hopefully this link answers your question. This autotrigger for new nick and question during first 15 minutes done only once.)
14:35.21SpeedEvilNot to mention simple stuff like "where did that bolt go" or "what was the price on that bag of lime", which a camera can trivially help with if you snap lots.
14:35.33PhilippeWell I wonder if OCR is going to be useful on a phone anyway....
14:35.39SpeedEvilWhy not?
14:35.53SpeedEvilIt's got plenty of CPU power.
14:35.58Philippemake a snap and wait for 15min until it managed to process what you want
14:35.59buzhandwrite ocr would be neat to make notes
14:36.11VegarI attempted OCR with gocr and a webcam (640x480)
14:36.11buzmuch easier to scribble on paper than touchscreens
14:36.17Vegardidn't work very well
14:36.19buzgocr is useless
14:36.38Vegarwhat would you use then?
14:36.41SpeedEvilI used to do OCR on P166 - worked fine.
14:36.43buzmaybe that google project will yield useable ocr at some point
14:36.46Philippethere was an article on osnews that pointed to ocr recently I believe
14:36.52LuitvDone thing I can't figure out is why the device features an ADC+DAC chip, and a temperature sensing chip...
14:36.54SpeedEvilThe bundled corel product, that I forget the name of.
14:36.59PhilippeSpeedEvil: P166 has floating point, ARM9 no.
14:37.10SpeedEvilPhilippe: True - it's at most a factor of 3.
14:37.20SpeedEvilMaybe 4.
14:37.37VegarSpeedEvil: text bridge?
14:37.40SpeedEvilAnd I wouldn't be scanning large books - for which it only took 30s/page or so.
14:37.53SpeedEvilI've used textbridge, but that was on bigger hardware.
14:38.09buzhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/tesseract-ocr
14:38.25SpeedEvilUmm - Some sort of cyrix P300 equiv IIRC
14:38.50SpeedEvilThe real problem with buisness cards is the propensity to wierd fonts.
14:39.22PhilippeWell you could solve part of the issue by having a gui that lets you selected the part you want ocr info from
14:39.32LuitvDwhy would a mobile phone need an 8-bit A/D and D/A converter...
14:39.33LuitvDanyone?
14:39.44PhilippeLuitvD: audio?
14:39.47buztv out?
14:39.58buzif it can record video, you want tvout
14:40.15LuitvDaccelerometers? :P
14:40.23Philippebuz: 8bit ADC for video might be pretty crappy :-)
14:40.40buzpoint
14:40.44LuitvDhttp://www.tau.ac.il/~stoledo/lego/i2c-8591-lis3l02as4/ ...
14:40.47SpeedEvilWhat sample rate?
14:41.19LuitvDmy best guess is accelerometer readout
14:41.31SpeedEvilHow many channels?
14:41.33Vegarbuz: interesting
14:41.42SpeedEvilYou will need 3 channels for accellerometers.
14:41.53SpeedEvilIf it's the same one as in the WII, which it probably is.
14:42.13buzdoes it have graphics acceleration?
14:42.18LuitvDSpeedEvil: it's 4 channel A/D
14:42.24LuitvDand 1-channel D/A
14:42.31keesjperhaps for a touch screen ?
14:42.33SpeedEvilD/A for backlight maybe.

14:44.52LuitvDbuz: i still think accelerometer is a better guess...
14:44.53SpeedEvilNot if it's on SPI/I2C
14:45.01SpeedEvilsimply not the bandwidth there to do video.

14:47.13rohnobody uses analog parts there anymore
14:47.21LuitvDroh: no, most accelerometers are analog output
14:47.30balrog-kuni2c can be quite clocked pretty high, probably comparable with usb
14:47.39rohLuitvD none of which are usefull for a mobile phone
14:47.41LuitvDbalrog-kun: 400kHz
14:47.44buzusb1 or usb2
14:48.12balrog-kunLuitvD: that's a limit for i2c in general? or a particular device?
14:48.36LuitvDroh: what's your guess then? for the use of that 8-bit 4-channel A/D and 1-channel D/A converter
14:48.55LuitvDbalrog-kun: I guess 400kHz is the max according to the i2c specs...
14:48.59rohLuitvD where?
14:49.05LuitvDso 400kbps is the max transfer rate
14:49.06SpeedEvilroh: the analog ones are _still_ cheaper than the I2C ones.
14:49.12LuitvDroh: in the HXD8
14:49.25SpeedEvilOften a fair bit cheaper, the one in the wii goes for $5 at 1K

14:49.44SpeedEvilYes.

18:50.37balrog-kun4 GB chips may exist, but the largest listed in the Linux NAND driver are 16 Gb which is 2 GB

19:07.58mmpbuz: according to one my friend, SD allows chaining :)
19:08.21buzstill, how do you stick into a microsd slot under the battery?
19:08.38balrog-kunmmp: i'm not sure how advanced the SDIO stack is but i'm sure there's no drivers for an arbitrary camera like this on top of it

19:38.22wimlah, I see what you mean

19:39.41buzdepends a lot on the continent
19:42.08wimlon the other hand, one of the things gps is used for is measuring continental drift (and other motions of the earth), so taking measurements over a long time and fitting to a curve can continue to get improved accuracy even when integration time is long enough for your receiver to have moved significantly

23:39.03SpeedEvilVegar: the only _possible_ use I could come up with would be using high power USB devices on the ends of very long cables.
23:39.08ElrondWell, a socket, that gives non-usb-voltage?

23:49.36mjrso a form of getting generic devices to charge off of USB
23:51.04SpeedEvilBut it has a USB plug and socket only.
23:51.47mjrSpeedEvil, meant to be used together with one that does only the appropriate power plug, which, I guess, can be used for some 5 volt things too
