OpenMoko's OM2008.9 for the Neo FreeRunner
,----[ Quote ]
| The OpenMoko project recently released a much-needed update to the official
| software stack of the Neo FreeRunner. I've had a FreeRunner for a few months
| and during that time I have used it to run everything from Debian to Qtopia
| (now known as QT Extended), so when OpenMoko announced the OM2008.9 update I
| eagerly upgraded to see what it had to offer.

OpenMoko CEO: Embrace fragmentation, diversity is a strength
,----[ Quote ]
| During his presentation, Moss-Pultz looked back at the successes and
| challenges encountered by the OpenMoko community in the past year and talked
| about how the project's adaptability and commitment to freedom have
| contributed to its current status.
|
| Although the OpenMoko concept was initially met with enormous skepticism, it
| has achieved success and is now generating profit. The company's first
| handset, the Neo1973, was manufactured in limited quantity and sold out
| completely within the first three days after it launched. Demand for the
| product was unexpectedly high, and Moss-Pultz humorously remarked that it
| probably would have sold out faster if the servers had been able to better
| withstand the massive traffic.

Open Linux phone gets datacasts
,----[ Quote ]
| 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

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.
