OpenMoko and FIC Neo1973 Updates

By Ewdison Then on Thursday, Feb 15th 2007 No Comments

We have been following OpenMoko development and FIC’s Neo1973 phone that will be powered by OpenMoko platform. Many things has happened since our last coverage and I’m excited to see where this platform is heading. OpenMoko community website is now officially in business, where you can find Wiki, SVN, Mailinglist, and Bugzilla (currently still password protected) on it.

Neo1973 phone has been delayed due to some changes deemed necessary by the development team, but I would rather wait, as it will be worthwhile. We have new pictures Sean sent to us of the Neo1973 phones, and a look inside the phone itself.

OpenMoko Interface – I’m Loving It!

By Ewdison Then on Wednesday, Jan 17th 2007 5 Comments

I’m not saying this because I’m a Linux user and developer, but i LOVE OpenMoko mockup interface so far. It reminds me of my favorite Window manager, Enlightenment with its brushed metal background and such. Looking at OpenMoko, makes me wanting iPhone less and less (well i prefer open source over anything, any day) and i cant wait to dig in and make some hacks and application for this smartphone. Enjoy the screenshots of the OpenMoko interface.

Photo above is taken during exclusive party in Vegas where i met Sean from OpenMoko.

Linux Cellphone partners with Open-Source Developer

By Chris Davies on Monday, Nov 27th 2006 No Comments

With the FIC open-source Linux cellphone launching sometime in January 2007, the company has announced its first major software partner in the shape of OpenMoko, whose OpenEmbedded-based platform will be loaded on every Neo1973 sold. Comprising a library of applications built around a common storage model, OpenMoko will also be compatible with existing open source applications from the OpenZaurus, Familiar Linux, and Ångström projects, as well as FIC-specific software that, having been OpenMoko-certified, can be remotely downloaded, installed and, over the lifespan of the software, updated.

Beyond the basic toolkit of cellular features, OpenMoko has used push-email and PIM synchronisation technology from mobile open source software company Funambol, creating a device environment where automatic updates correct bugs and add new features as they are released.
