i doubt you will understand what i am about to ramble on about or care to read
but it is a open source smart phone, which means the schematics and such are freely available and open source developers are free to mess with it till they squee with joy. like i said before i doubt you understand peoples need to do whatever they want with the technology they purchased however,
just like every mmorpg did not copy World of Warcraft, neither does this phone copy iphone.
i own a neo too, i know what it means to use his own software. But this looks like the frontend of the iPhone, and the imageviewer is like the one from the iPhone, even though it's not multitouch.
it might look similar, but i mean there only so many ways to make a phone look with it still being functional and having the standard smart phone features
Seriously, you need to stick jffs2 images up - i'm sure people won't care how much of it works, but just the ability to show the freerunner off again and not feel ashamed... ;)
All very well, but what's the chance it will be able to be used as a phone? How much effort is being expended on fancy stuff like moving the screen layouts when people are still waiting to get a half usable phone? All but the most hard core supporters have given up on OpenMoko ever delivering a working phone.
Well, i have given up using my openmoko as a daily phone some months ago,
but now i picked it up again, and im hapily using it as a daily phone with SHR, wich really improved since my OM has bitten dust. So i say SHR has done what OM 2008/2009 could not do; delivering an working phone.
So i say there are some guys out there doing a good job.
and in my opnion you cant compare the Openmoko to an Iphone or any stylish touch phone, The openmoko Freerunner is a kind of phone of its own.

hey Th30z
was just thinking...if you enable swap memory on the sd card, won't it run even faster and more stable ??
Can't wait for release ! :) :) :)
arseny1991 2 years ago
Wouldn't that wear out the card relatively fast? I think SD cards are only approx. 100,000 write cycles per bit.
