new short update: http://neo900.org/news/neo900-update-2017-09-03 (thanks to sn0wmonster and everybody else who contributed/commented/proofread)

some additional related context from IRC: https://irclog.whitequark.org/neo900/2017-09-06
11:24 <metacollin> Hey everyone, I'm the engineer that Joerg-Neo900 hired on contract to complete the second prototype board, as well as handle its manufacture. It is still in the early stages, but expect to slowly start seeing things taking shape over the coming weeks . Right now, I am polishing all of the CAD footprints for maximum manufacturing reliability, and 3D MCAD representations.
11:25 <metacollin> Just finished the LEDS https://metacollin.com/screens/upshot_nPmDISSZ.jpg
11:33 <metacollin> All footprints are being tweaked so they're made IPC compliant. IPC is the Association Connecting Electronics Industries - an international body standardizing assembly and production requirements of electronic equipment and assemblies. They've been collecting data from mass produced electronics for 6 straight decades, and have empirically determined the ideal footprints for various chips and components from this mountain of data.
11:47 <metacollin> Also, I have an n900 and used to use it quite a bit back in the day. I am modestly active on github and participate in several open source projects, so I'm also contributing to the project outside of the contract as well. Basically, I want this thing to exist.
11:50 <metacollin> Oh, and one last thing, coming into this project which, as I understand it, has been active for sometime now, I have to say, it's the single best documented project I've worked with. That alone is going to speed things along, so anyway, just wanted to give everyone an update.
sidenote: we're looking into transferwise again, maybe this turns out to be a viable payment method for US based contributors

why isn't the resolution upgraded, at least 720p would have been nice.

The whole point is to reuse N900's hardware.

I thought the whole idea was to reuse the N900's external shell. The hardware (CPU, RAM, IR LEDs...) is being replaced anyway, so why not other bits, like the screen? I can see immi's point.

Having said that, I see literally zero point in cramming more pixels in a 3.5" screen. 800x480 is just fine. And whatever you do, please, please, please do NOT go down the capacitive route.

Agreed

higher res on a 3.5 screen is ridiculous.
the only use being ...connecting it to a monitor.

Again,
Agreed

The Capacitive route means the gap between the neo and any other model of phone which can boot linux narrows almost to the point of disappearing.
Which would only make others begin to question and wonder the big "why bother with a neo in the first place when the same can be accomplished with a more affordable device..with the same or... (most likely now).... better specs?"

To add to the issue...
Sure...go ahead...insist for additional wants..
lets add more onto the pile...
that will most surely speed up production time.

I would like a cappuccino frothier and food dehydrator option installed on mine please ...

so I can dehydrate apple slices while sipping a capp while watching "modern family" at 720 p on my capacitve neo900

Higher resolution of display would mean faster battery drain, and would probably necessitate a larger battery. Mugen company seems dead as it is; I don't think that finding a higher-capacity battery for a device with higher-resolution display would be easy. Especially if it involved a different battery cover.
Thank you. Best wishes.
