The open source iPhone alternative?
Posted on Monday July 9, 2007 by Julian I. KamilIn case you missed the announcement, OpenMoko Neo, the Linux mobile phone that comes with an open source development framework, has just gone live and can be bought now for $300.00. That’s dirt-cheap compared to the at&t-locked iPhone that goes for $500.00 to $600.00 a pop and a mandatory 2-year contract.
The Neo 1973 runs totally Free Software. Even hardware-wise we’re pushing things drastically further than most device manufacturers. The Neo was specifically designed with openness and ease of developer-access from very start. ... End user Freedom is our passion. The entire OpenMoko system and application software are built using Free and Open Source Software (FOSS).
Unlike the consumer-oriented Apple iPhone, this gadget is clearly targeted for mobile device hackers. I love it!
