Anyone know about this company? http://www.buglabs.net/products

 

 

There is a Yi-Tan conference call about them in 5 minutes but I've never
heard of them.

I was kind of thinking in the opposite direction... running OpenMoko (the

Maybe if Buglabs is successful, FIC/OpenMoko wants to make a GSM 
BugModule ;-)  (or better, a connect module: GSM+BT+WiFi)

Not sure if they really have any modules yet - from the discussion
yesterday it's still very alpha days at the moment.

I dont know what you mean by whether they have modules yet. Clearly they
are not shipping yet. On the other hand I saw (and held) modules in person,
albeit not plugged in and demonstrated. They said these were production
modules. It sounds like hardware is frozen, or close to frozen. Moreover, If
what they told me in person (and whats on their website) is true, they will
be releasing four modules by the end of the year. But none of the modules
they are publicly discussing is a cell module.

I think it could go both ways but their software stack is much more high
level. Its java based and essentially each module looks like a webserver
that knows how to talk to the hardware. Openmoko is essentially a linux
distribution, and their stuff is really an API and communications model that
sits on top of a linux. Yest they have to do their own low level stuff like
openmoko, but they have an abstraction layer that openmoko doesnt. The other
thing is they dont have a cell module yet - just wifi.

Yep I meant that they don't have a ship date (or a frozen date) or even
an open beta yet.

 

Like I said I'm actively looking to support these guys as I think it's a
great concept but.long way to go.

Are you saying you think Q4 07 is a long way to go, or do you just think
they are being overly optimistic.

Well Q4 07 is either 12 days away or 120+12-1 for December 30th
depending on how you look at it :-)

 

If they have just opened up the closed beta process this means they have
some time to go before being available for retail.

Acutally Q4 07  means they have until December 31. ie around 3 months. To
me, that doesn't seem like a long way to go, but thats why I asked. Language
to one person means one thing and may mean something else to someone else.

How big base and modules are we talking about here? (I admit I didn't read all 
the website ;)

Yes,

They are making some very cool stuff. Its a modular consumer electronics
platform. I went to one of their mixers a few weeks ago. I think it is going
to be a hit. I also think that using their stuff on openmoko would be
incredibly cool.
