Re: My Dream Device
 

Wikiwide covered most of what I'd like, but I think a major point would be a type of X-forwarding (N900's isn't functional).

My concept of phone usage is more like personal computer - with a type of functional X-forwarding, you'd have your navigation application, music, music app, etc. on the phone, then when you get in the car with the phone, just use a larger screen for the display.

Well, that's basically it.

I could well live without the HWKB even, but add one important requirement: no closed blobs on the device.

And I do mean none; all FW blobs should be open too, as well as all L2/L3/signalling stacks.
All algorithms documented. All sources provided, all tools provided, all build toolchains documented, all JEDEC files provided, all schematics provided, all gerber files provided.

HWKB
Linux

Android is Linux. Oh, you mean GNU/Linux?

Re: My Dream Device
 

As long as we are talking about dreams, I cannot settle for anything less than

• GNU hardware
• GNU fimware
• GNU software

iIf it's Linux that's okay for me but I will settle for Hurd/whatever you ard offering :D

Re: My Dream Device
 

I just want a device fits in my pocket nicely.

I would buy an android, but they are all huge. I have a laptop if I want to carry something big around. Iphone5 is a nice size for me. really I could go even smaller, as long as it has a nice resolution. I don't know why there isn't more demand for this, they just keep making them bigger. calling them phablets and what not.

I've been eyeing the razr M, but really something better has to come out soon.

I like a lot of the ideas I've seen in this thread as well, as long as we're dreaming.

for now I stick with my 10 dollar dumb-phones and wait.

Re: My Dream Device
 

my dream device should look like that

It should do anything whatever I think

It should become physically anything what I want yes of course physical

Actually I am checking my name software which is typing by speaking

So I'm speaking whatever is coming in on my mind so please don't mind if you get bored by Reading this post.

Actually the software is working good it looks like that I can type by speaking it is working very well today I was not able to write so fast yesterday but today after getting some practice I'm able to type quite correctly.

Thanks again

Re: My Dream Device
 

Quick reply...
Not boring, not boring at all. And I wouldn't like a device which "does anything whatever I think" for two reasons. First, if technology exists to read a human mind, then there are far too many malicious ways to use it, including overwriting human mind; frightening opportunity for invasion of privacy. Second, if the device is capable of doing anything, then it's as scary as house elves in Harry-Potter-land: it is underestimated by the virtue of being a computer, it has unknown capabilities since its only limit is its owner's imagination, and it's capable of great destruction should owner wish it - or when the device turns out to have its own will, separate from the will of a human.
Just look at the influence Daneel Olivaw had on Foundation universe. He was benevolent, by his own choice or due to Asimov's laws, we don't know. But if the device doesn't obey Asimov's laws, or finds a way to disregard them, or is mistaken in some of the definitions, then the device may be, either deliberately or accidentally, malicious.

Re: My Dream Device
 

Well my dream device will be the exact N900 with all the bugs fixed.

Maybe a little more CPU, but if Iphone can run flawlessly with a Cortex-A8, who am I to ask for more.

Maybe a little thin, with a large screen, but exactly the way it is now. A phone as strong as 3310, but smart!
