openmoko – the open source phone
I mentioned this project in an earlier post. Openmoko looks promising, a good price point at US$350 – considering the iPhone is priced at US$499 (4GB model) and US$599 (8GB model) both on 2 year contracts. Market release for the openmoko is scheduled for September 2007, developer kits are scheduled for late April release and claimed to be on target. Go here to the community portal, and here for an introduction to the project. You don’t have to be a developer to get involved, go to the wishlist and make some suggestions if you like. This could revolutionize the cell phone market if successfull, I’ll be watching this project closely.
