Source Code and jffs2 images will be released when system will be ready. This is just a prototype.

crap

[linuxxr]

wheres those .jffs2 image files an the kernel im ready to try them

[Burn02]

Is there any news????

[edgezors]

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

[HellGrowler]

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.

[edgezors]

its not a copy.

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.

[HellGrowler]

i don't get why you try to copy the iPhone...

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.

PS: Above was really frustration directed at OpenMoko, not the video author.

[cheetah100]

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.
