Applications
Numptyphysics this great physics drawing game is reborn! Game can be played landscaped, without keyboard and it uses same datafiles than any other numptyphysics-port. (http://www.opkg.org/package_3.html) upstream news: newer physics engine (Box2d v2.0.1 http://www.box2d.org), scalable window with commandline parameters (so every platfrom will use same datafiles), faster drawing, more levels, action replays (https://garage.maemo.org/scm/?group_id=638) port news: onSceenKeyboard (control-panel), action replays removed (doesn't yet work correct with freerunner), NextLevel-dialog-overlay is non-draggable (so clicking it is easier) ( http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/rantalai/freerunner/numptyphysics/ )
First alpha version of a program called Signal Applications To Any (Audio) Network, or, ehm, SATAN for short... It can be used to create simple music, or just jam on the train, bus or café.

Flashing the Neo GSM modem
This is a Wiki that explains how to upgrade the GSM modem firmware of the Neo.
Hardware
And I thought that we were waiting on Sean to give mechanical legs to the Neo. I was so literally wrong !
System
They are closing in on a fix to the GSM-noise buzz issue on the hardware mailing list. This may make it on the A7 hardware revision.

The kernel guys are trying to switch from the "stable" to the stable-tracking branch. The idea is to improve resume/suspend by using a newer 2.6.28 kernel. And to stay closer to Linus's kernel (so that problems are found early and one by one), instead of branching every X months (and having to jump the gap to the new version with great effort). [ http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2008-November/006238.html around Nov. 2nd]:
- NAND/ECC kernel issues are supposedly solved by this patch.
- Glamo GPIO not working on resume somehow leading to WSOD.
- The replacement of the Atheros SDIO stack underneath the WLAN driver with the Linux SDIO stack is planned but not scheduled. Warnings from WLAN driver about "warn_on_slowpath" are gone.
- breakage on Accel
- WLAN latency bug: On the same wireless network on which the Neo has an average ping of 70+ms, with large excursions, my laptop gets an average of 1.7ms and a maximum of about 5-6ms. (hum, this should go to the trac !)
