Trolltech drops greenphone for OpenMoko (Neo)
Link to story: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1035_22-6214641.html I'm actually sad to hear this. While it's great to have a number of options running on the Neo, it would be nice to have OpenMoko run on a variety of devices, but the greenphone won't be in the running. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Yeah, I think, that greenphone today is not actually project, because now Compulab created hw platform for creating smartphones for $2300 . It has sensor big sensor panel. And of couse OpenMoko Neo 1973 is better than greenphone. Qt released greenphone, but not upgraded it ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Now what I really want to see is a candy bar form factor for an OpenMoko phone from FIC. That would allow the multitudes of developers still interested in that form factor to develop for OpenMoko or QTopia and have a high-quality, open handset to work and innovate on.

Everyone from the international media reporting on this seems to have missed a few key points: 1) The Greenphone is a development platform / tool. It was never intended as a phone / end user device. Don't believe me? Check the old press releases from Trolltech. 2) Trolltech only produced 1000 Greenphones, as they said from the start that they would do. They have now sold all units, which is a good thing. 3) Trolltech will still support the Greenphones that are out there. For more, see the Trolltech press release: http://trolltech.com/company/newsroom/announcements/press.2007-10-21.0880321862 BTW, I am not associated with Trolltech in any way, but I considered the Greenphone before settling on the Neo1973. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen Norway ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

When we first released the Greenphone, it came with Qtopia 4.1.7, The whole 4.2 series had Greenphone releases. Now we are preparing to release Qtopia 4.3.0. What didn't get upgraded was the kernel. This is because it is out of our control. We don't do hardware, nor kernel development. This is up to the manufacturer, not Trolltech. -- Lorn 'ljp' Potter Software Engineer, Systems Group, MES, Trolltech ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
