Linux Powers Motorola's Smart Phone

Posted by CmdrTaco on Sunday March 16, 2003 @05:02AM from the still-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-pond dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Motorola unveiled the A760 at CeBIT and claims the handset is the first in the world to blend the open source operating system with Java software. As well as Linux, the A760 has onboard a camera, diary, e-mail program, MP3 player, speakerphone and colour touchscreen."

TRollin' trollin' trollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them doggies rolling
TRawlhiiiiiiide

Rain and wind and weather
Hell bent for leather
Wishing my girl was by my side

All the things I'm missin'
Good victuals, love and kissin'
are waiting at the end of my ride.

RAWHIDE!

Thank you Mister President.

/me runs down endless hallways reading through a pile of papers, goes into rooms takes things and leaves them to other rooms and speaks to other people about the things we got to do tomorrow when we have time.

No, thank you Mr. 3rd poster. Your contribution will go to kill one Iraqi child. Would you like a part of her corpse as a tax receipt?

I don't know why something like this is still moderated funny and not flaimbait.
./configure --target=arm-linux; make
Is a heck easer to do than "just program everything from scratch".

hello babkillers...
Hi there!
hope you enjoy your army / navy contracts!
Sure we do... What's not to like?
do you enjoy killing babies?
Not nearly as much as I enjoy eating them! Deep fried baby is always a fav, but for the more cultured palatte, I suggest braising the baby filet until there's just a little pink left in the tender meat. When finished, cover in a lovely bernaise sauce, and garnish with fresh parsely! Viola! C'est Manifique!
its all for the best right?
Well, a man's got to eat...
