Hi,
I'm an audio engineer. And I can put a computer together. I joined this
list because of HAIKU coming from BSD. Wich is running on the Tascam
SX-1. Haiku on such products would be awesome...
At this point I am intrigued by the multi touch phones and I-pad. I'm
not sure other OS'es support this. If not I could see Haiku working on
phones who would like to upgrade to get that functionality.
To do so HAIKU should work to get a selection of drivers, working for
GPRS, internet, touchscreens, bluetooth, wifi and GPS. So people can
enjoy a full workout on selected phones.
These phone hacks could persuade people to buy full equipped roms for
their phones.
I think upgrade ROM's for phones are the way to go and push HAIKU forward.
Allso every Macintosh and Windows can now run virtualized invironments.
If you sell USB sticks with HAIKU, people can experience HAIKU for the
price of a USB stick and if booting from that stick is supported there
are a lot of possibilities there for people to buy HAIKU. Like a
dedicated mp3 player, invironment. To sort and select mp3's on quality
and tags. Uhm... working on video. etc etc.
I do think when working as a software based company life will be harder
then as a hardwarecompany. If you create a webserver with HAIKU to run
on a router, I assume with a decent firewall and antivirus people could
turn off their anti virus on their pc's and thus have more resources....
Lots of routers have USB. So HAIKU for USB harddisks could be a product too.
So;
1: Phone-roms; target; consumer
2: USB stick for HAIKU experience; target; USB manufacturer OR BIG MAIL
OUT AND ORDER LIST And order a large quantity of USB pens and do em yourself
3: USB(3) disks for central storage with HAIKU with network facilities.
People want a homenetwork with central mail and storage. WINDOWS
HOMESERVER SUCKS. Apple servers are not being sold. This is still an
open market with no true marketleaders with a strong product.
Viruses and malware are a big consumer concern. HAIKU between their pc
and the internet could make a difference. HAIKU on a USB stick (the
sale) and open source support & a team to back this up could mean profits.
If 10 people in 10 different countries would pay 100 euro (=1000 euro) a
batch of USB sticks can be purchased. they will become the distributeur
of their country. (I'm one). HAIKU developers build a website & develop
the product. The 100 euro stays in the system with no profit paid to
anyone. It is there to buy new stock and to let it grow. When the stock
is 50.000 euro, payments can be made to HAIKU developers and
distributers. 32 GB is a great as added memory to any router as central
storage for mail.
Just some ideas.
Enjoy,
