People,
I want to know how it will compare to my GTA02 . . I want a bigger
screen but the video shows about the same size device?
The GTA04 isn't a phone (at this stage at least). It is a replacement
motherboard for the Openmoko Freerunner. So you use the same case, the same
display, the same touchscreen, the same battery. Only the motherboard and
the components on it will changed.
I would love a bigger screen too, and no bevel around the screen, and a
thinner case and and and and... But the chance of getting that as a truly
open device seems pretty slim at the moment. So I'm happy to compromise and
get a GTA04 board to eventually put in my Freerunner case.
OK, well then I guess I want a comparison feature for feature between
the old and the new . . is GTA04 just to replace a dead GTA02 MB?
Thanks,
Phil.
I suggest you read what is available at
www.gta04.org
and
wiki.gta04.org
GTA04 is an experiment. It might not work (you are warned that when trying
to buy). The software certainly doesn't work completely yet. It may never
unless you contribute.
It has a faster processor, faster graphics, 3G phone capability and assorted
other bits and pieces.
It is an 'engineering component' for people who want to experiment and
explore. One day it might be more than that, but today is not that day.
There's not much there and it doesn't mean much to me - a tabular
comparison would be good . .
Thanks,
Phil.
