[10:39] <FreeSoul> hi guys!
[10:41] <FreeSoul> anyway can tell me the compatibility with a Benq MID S6?
[10:42] <FreeSoul> does ubuntu-mobile has drivers for the marvel wifi card?
[12:54] <s0u][ight> hello i know this isn't the right place but i have a project idea (don't want to talk about it yet) and i need a about 7" touchscreen display for it what would you recommend me?
[13:02] <FreeSoul> s0u][ight: i'm a guest here but your questions has no answer. What do you need? a 7" toichscreen means nothing in terms of architecture, os, requirements and so on. As you formalized the questions a 7" can be a little table to hold a cup fo tea :D
[13:03] <s0u][ight> FreeSoul, i'm going to build an 'own' device which will have a touchscreen (hopefully mutlitouch support)
[13:04] <FreeSoul> much better
[13:04] <FreeSoul> so what is the question?
[13:05] <s0u][ight> i'm looking for a touchscreen of about 7" that could become a component of my device
[13:06] <FreeSoul> so you need a touchscreen wich is supported by linux? or what else? I mean, there are a lot of touchscreen brands and model
[13:06] <s0u][ight> yeah that's my problem there is so much hardware
[13:07] <FreeSoul> oh, ok :)
[13:08] <s0u][ight> and yes support for linux would be amazing
[13:08] <FreeSoul> I think you need to talk with hardware maker to decide with best fit your needs. I mean, you need to be sure that it work with the operative system your plan to use and also specifications can very a lot (it makes also change the price too)
[13:09] <FreeSoul> it depends on the specification you need... just an example. if you want it readable also under the sun it gotta be done in a certain way and so on
[13:09] <s0u][ight> i understand
[13:09] <FreeSoul> you need to talk with hardware maker and I suppose (but i'm a guest as you are) that this is the wrong place
[13:09] <s0u][ight> it should be something like the iphone one
[13:09] <s0u][ight> but 7"
[13:09] <s0u][ight> or maybe 9
[13:10] <FreeSoul> s0u][ight: i've never been in your situation but I would suggest to find out all touchscreen producers...
[13:10] <FreeSoul> and tell them the application you need it to
[13:10] <s0u][ight> FreeSoul, i don't have a patent yet
[13:10] <FreeSoul> s0u][ight: it's not a problem
[13:10] <FreeSoul> just tell them the contitions
[13:11] <FreeSoul> and your needs
[13:11] <FreeSoul> and if you are developing a nettablet let me know :D
[13:12] <s0u][ight> no nettablet :P
[13:12] <FreeSoul> :) what a pity!
[13:12] <s0u][ight> actually a hint: it should give the idea of not being some piece of electronics
[13:13] <FreeSoul> a robot under the skin of an animal :)
[13:13] <s0u][ight> touchscreen on an animal lol
[13:14] <FreeSoul> :)
[13:14] <s0u][ight> actually if this product becomes succesfull it will be one of the few ones helping mother nature
[13:14] <FreeSoul> you know animals are hairy :)
[13:15] <FreeSoul> uhmmm.... i suspect you are no gonna replace flowers in a garden with little touchscreen displays showing flowers and blowing wind :)
[13:15] <s0u][ight> loool i love the fantasy of human beings
[13:16] <s0u][ight> something real easy
[13:17] <FreeSoul> :)
[13:17] <s0u][ight> btw our nicks look quiet the same :|
[13:17] <FreeSoul> s0u][ight: i just hope it runs son wversion of IP and TCP or other network protocol.... otherwise I doubt I'll buy it
[13:18] <FreeSoul> something like that :D
[13:19] <s0u][ight> FreeSoul, don't know if you will buy it but the request for is actually there allready
[13:19] <s0u][ight> people just don't see it
[13:19] <FreeSoul> interesting :) but i need a network stack to feel happy :)
[13:21] <FreeSoul> at least... bye
[13:31] <playya> http://www.pictureupload.de/originals/pictures/301108144305_Schaf3.jpg <-- this might be the device <s0u][ight> wants to build
[13:32] <FreeSoul> ahiaiuahahahahahahaiuauau great work playya
[13:33] <playya> thx
[13:33] <FreeSoul> i just hope he will not build all the rest looking for hardware without talking to hardware makers....
[13:33] <FreeSoul> because it gotta quite hard to develope a sheep :)
[13:33] <FreeSoul> hey wait, is that touchscreen iPhone like??
[13:34] <playya> no not really
[13:34] <FreeSoul> damn, can't be the right one!
[13:34] <FreeSoul> ok i accept that just because it's a prototype :D
[13:35] <playya> should i replace it by an iphone?
[13:36] <FreeSoul> uhmmm
[13:36] <FreeSoul> some times ago i read about a giant iPhone screen, :)
[13:36] <FreeSoul> try with taht
[13:36] <playya> and a horse
[13:36] <playya> then you can have a beer picknick with your friends
[13:37] <FreeSoul> uhmmm sounds a good idea :)
[13:37] <FreeSoul> better then the sheep
[13:37] <playya> but it has to be a shetland pony
[13:38] <playya> normal horses are to big
[13:46] <FreeSoul> well... it may depends on how many friends you want to drink with :)
