Golden Delicious Now Shipping Hackable Openmoko GTA04

Posted by timothy on Friday February 10, 2012 @08:40PM from the price-vs-performance dept.

An anonymous reader writes with an update to the updated Openmoko phone that's long been in the works. From the story at Linux For Devices: "German manufacturer Golden Delicious has begun shipping a hackable open source smartphone that runs a variety of Linux software, including a newly optimized Openmoko distro. The Openmoko GTA04 is available as a finished phone or as a board that slips into earlier Openmoko Neo Freerunner GTA01 and GTA02 cases, providing an 800MHz Texas Instruments DM3730 processor and a full range of sensors and wireless features." It's rather expensive for a mid-range Android phone, but far more interesting than fairly ordinary phones decked out with bling.

That's like devilishly expensive. If I had the extra money, I'd pay it, but dang!

A variety known for being pretty (thus easy to sell) but quite tasteless.

Who knew Apple customers used strap-ons?

Are we talking about food, or, Apple products here?
