Openmoko's Open Source Phone Goes Mass-Market
nerdyH writes "Openmoko has begun shipping its Linux-based, open source Neo Freerunner phone to five newly announced distributors, in Germany, France, and India, says the company. The Neo Freerunner features an open hardware design, and a Linux-based operating system that users are free to modify. The project originally hoped to produce a mass-market offering last October. The $400 Freerunner will remain available direct, online, too. A 2.5G GPRS/GSM phone like the original iPhone, it boasts a 500MHz processor, WiFi, 3D accelerometers, a 4.3-inch VGA touchscreen, Bluetooth, and built-in GPS."
Interestingly my first post is marked as troll?
Anyway, I use other phones, (like the phone at work) to make my calls. This is the cheapest way I have found :)
No idea why I thought it was french. Is there not a bunch of frecnh people designing a simliar open standard phone thing? Maybe it was a brain fart when I read France in the summary. Who knows.
But its not Japanese sex robot.
Prediction: The real iPhone killer is going to be sex robots from Japan. Think about it.
