OpenMoko Users Open up About Their Phones

,----[ Quote ]
| Software developer Marcus Bauer had come along to explain how he ported his 
| mapping and location software, Tango GPS, to the Freerunner -- which 
| delighted another attendee who wanted a phone he could take geo-caching.  
| 
| A biologist said he was simply curious about whether he could use a phone 
| like this. ("If you've got fingers, you should be OK," one owner replied.) 
| 
| There was also a lawyer, an architect -- and yes, someone from the 
| government, looking for a platform on which to develop "secure mobile 
| applications."  
| 
| It takes all sorts to make a free world.

Open Linux phone gets datacasts

| The Communications Research Center Canada (CRC) has created a prototype
| handset that can receive datacasting signals. Its Linux-based "Openmokast"
| phone is built atop OpenMoko's open-source Neo FreeRunner phone platform, and
| along with typical smartphone functions, supports reception of live digital
| radio, video, and data broadcasts.

I'm super excited to begin work on this project [porting DeviceScape to the
OpenMoko]

| To the best of my knowledge this is the first (or one of the first) non-FIC
| commercial applications being ported/developed for the OpenMoko/FreeRunner
| stack.

First Openmoko Custom Phone Now Available and Wears a Debian Plaid Kilt

,----[ Quote ]
| The Openmoko Neo Freerunner phone was released only a few weeks ago, and
| already, a customized version called the W.E. Phone is now available for
| purchase. So what's the difference between the naked-as-a-baby Neo and the
| Canadian-based W.E.? The latter comes with a full bundle of custom Google
| applications, on top of the core GNU/Linux OS base with dialing, SMS and
| contacts.
