Hi all , I am working in the field of Open-source entrepreneurship , we just started a club and a series of lectures. One of our projects is working on applications for an open source cell-phone.
Michael Shilo from Openmoko inc. offered to contribute some phones and dev kits of the new model out next month. It's got GSM , GPRS , GPS (not agps) , WIFI , BT2 , accelerometers , multi-touch screen , etc. and of course ,it runs a flavor of linux. the platform and OS are open , the drivers are open , the hardware components are known , circuitry is closed , but the OS is portable to other devices so that is not a problem. if you have an Idea for an application or wan to participate in ongoing projects [openmoko.org] , please be in touch - [EMAIL PROTECTED] also check out our club wiki - http://technioneec.wiki.co.il/ more info on the phone - openmoko.com you can also call me - 0504277774 Thanks, Tom Sofer technion EEC coordinator _______________________________________________ Haifux mailing list Haifux@haifux.org http://hamakor.org.il/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haifux
