iPhone vs OpenMoko: The open alternative
,----[ Quote ]
| The OpenMoko team have been working on a cell phone to be manufactured by
| First International Computers, the motherboard manufacturer. Using a
| GNU/Linux base, OpenMoko intends the NEO1973 to be both a proof-of-concept
| device, and a reference platform.

| [...]
|
| Comparing Apple's iPhone to the NEO1973 is an interesting
| excersise. Aesthetically, the iPhone is slightly more stylish. The
| iPhone has more storage with 4G or 8G, versus the NEO1973's 64MB;
| however, the NEO1973 has a microSD slot, with which you can use 1G
| microSD cards. The iPhone has WiFi built in, whereas the first
| release of the NEO1973 will not. Also, the iPhone has a 2
| Megapixel camera. The NEO1973 has no camera.
|
| [...]
|
| An option that is US$150 cheaper, with no service provider
| contract required.
