Neo 1973, open-sourced iPhone
Taking advantage of the enormous advertizing campaing for the iPhone, another technogadget is getting famous… and the contrast between Apple’s smartphone and the new one…
It’s the Neo 1973, the first phone designed to run OpenMoko. This is one of the most amazing features: it uses an open source system, with several advanced features, with Linux as a core kernel and a reducted X.org server for the graphics.
iPhone’s look and feel probably will remain winning choices. But nowadays not only geeks love the freedom of choice, customizing, writing their own scripts interfacing devices etcetera… I’m curious to hear more about this smartphone, that should be available for the public in October, as I’m getting bored of closed-boxes take it as it is and forget about customizations.
Also Motorola makes a Linux based sys, called MotoMING
