The Neo Freerunner uses a Samsung processor: <http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner_GTA02_Hardware#Processor>. I thought Ubuntu MID was aimed at Intel hardware: specifically the Atom processor, Menlow and McCaslin architectures. There's quite a lot of existing hardware that could benefit from this project, if it can be made to work.
What would be the difficulties in getting Ubuntu MID running on, for example, the Arima UM650: <http://www.pioneercomputers.com.au/products/info.asp?c1=3&c2=108&id=2191> (here rebadged by Pioneer Computers)? Is it too much for a mere mortal like me to contemplate? Declaration of interest: I own a UM650 that runs Windows XP like a dog and I've never managed to get GPS to work. The short question is: does Intel's involvement make other hardware, such as Via, problematic? -- David Boxall | The more that wise people learn [EMAIL PROTECTED] | The more they come to appreciate http://david.boxall.name | How much they don't know. --Confucius On 15/08/2008, at 10:57 PM Loïc Minier wrote: > On Thu, Aug 14, 2008, Dirk wrote: >> Any chance that Ubuntu MID will ever be running on something like the >> Neo Freerunner? >> The Freerunner already has a Debian port (http://wiki.debian.org/pkg-fso). > > No counter-indication, but it's not a target to support phones: Ubuntu > MID is about "MIDs", so mostly about an Internet experience -- but it's > true that some MIDS are getting SIM cards and phone capabilities. > -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
