DocScrutinizer05gry: don't worry, Neo900 ended because of too long time it took to find layouters and too few preorders to sustain the project00:00
gryyes i thought translating to other languages would have opened non-english preorders00:01
grynot sure how many though00:01
gryif you or someone else decide to make another device i am still willing to help with translations00:01
DocScrutinizer05judging by email we received, asking for details in non-english language, it wouldn't have made any differemce00:01
gryok00:02
DocScrutinizer05sorry nope, I'm done with running a company00:02
DocScrutinizer05alas $trouble isn't done with me yet00:03
gryyep00:03
DocScrutinizer05did you know it costs $$$$ and takes 12 months+ to *shut down* a GmbH?00:03
grythat sounds a tad painful00:04
DocScrutinizer05not just a tad00:04
grythats weird, do they want companies to keep going? :-/00:04
gryi remember maemo became an eV, but i don't recall what happened from there; i think this is less pain00:05
DocScrutinizer05the easiest way is prolly "chaper 11"00:06
DocScrutinizer05chapter*00:06
DocScrutinizer05in German it's "Insolvenz"00:06
grythat sounds like bankrupty style thing00:08
DocScrutinizer05it is00:11
DocScrutinizer05"alas" Neo900 UH not bankrupt enough for that00:12
DocScrutinizer05UG even00:12
DocScrutinizer05paradox prank00:12
DocScrutinizer05I'm sure there are ways around that, known by lawyers which cost $$$$ again00:13
DocScrutinizer05conclusion: never even think about running a company if you can't afford a lawyer, an accountant and a sevretary fulltime00:15
DocScrutinizer05secretary*00:15
DocScrutinizer05and a web designer / PR officer00:17

KotCzarnygry: i think if someone configures android for voice actions, then disables screen entirely, it might qualify as no-screen phone07:44
KotCzarnylistening for audio commands all the time eats battery though07:45
KotCzarnyas for n900, it uses ~9mA in idle (screen off, but ready to receive calls or events)07:45
KotCzarnymore if you have some program running all the time07:45
