Hi, I would love to have an open phone with OMAP processor like OpenPandora and BeagleBoard. Both have the OMAP 3530 with 3D acceleration and DSP. Maybe a phone doesn't need the DSP. But it is amazingly powersufficient, IMO. The phone would be up to date from processor power, and there should not be a resource problem so soon, I guess. BeagleBoard and OpenPandora are both well supported in OE, so from SW-side there should not be so much effort (in theorie, you kow...). >From HW-side another nicy is the POP (package on package). In the BeagleBoard they are using a variant, where the RAM and NAND (both in one Chip) is soldered on top of the processor, so the high speed lines to DDR-RAM are not going through the PCB (on the other of course, you have the process of soldering...). ... just dreaming ...
