Today is OpenMoko's big day. It's coming to developers' hands.

OpenMoko on PalmTX

| One problem is OpenMoko is based on GTK, so it will need more than 32MB
| RAM (the phone has 128MB). Another problem is the screen size: 640x480,
| so everything looks a bit too large. I was able to scale the interface
| down to 480x320, but there still were some elements not to fit the
| PalmTX's display.

Forget iPhone, hail OpenMoko, the true revolution

| ...I would rather wait for OpenMoko to become available for purchase

| product, it is like an awesome looking golden cage. I always
| preferred freedom to control my own digital devices than to be
| mostly dependent on one vendor for everything.

Open Phones with Open Moko
,----[ Quote ]
| While the hardware may be similar, the strategy is a complete
| reversal of Apple's closed platform and proprietary hardware.
| OpenMoko is an open Linux-based mobile application development
| platform that's designed to help operators and developers build
| innovative applications on top of a basic phone platform.

The more I hear about this iPhone the more I can't help feeling it is
already a damp squid. Yes of cause they will sell some, but how long for?
No java developers welcome in our camp thankyou very much. Oh, and none of
you flash guys allowed in either. (actually I quite like that last part).
Alienate the majority of the sort of developers your product needs to
succeed, not the best thing to do I would have thought.
You know one of the outstanding things about Web2, is the fact that they are
so many definitions of what it actually means that it probably doesn't mean
any of them. Web2 is attached in the same way as the green tree on a
plastic carrier bag. The carrier back isn't friendly to trees and not
everything with Web2 stuck on it is a web application, many are not
applications at all, just displays.
Google loves it and has some good examples of it's use. Their maps software.
It shows that the potential for good interactive web applications is
already in reach.
But you have to take into account that developers have available, perl, php,
ruby, java and any other you fancy.
On iPhone it seems you are very limited on what you can do.

Apple have a bigger user base than Linux.

Exactly why it is such a mess and so many poorly designed, disjoint
sites abound.

A single device instead of carrying a phone and iPod? But there are already
complaints coming up of how tinny the sound is (might be beter through an
interface to one of those iPod mini hifi units, the ones I read were
talking about ear phones).

People *always* complain. They're not going to get the Carneghie Hall
inside a box that big you know.

I see that you're very jealous of the iPhone. Of course if the very same
iPhone were running linux a hypocrite like you would be touting it's many
virtues in every post. But you and your inferior lienux phones are
threatened by this revolutionary device so of course you do nothing but
spread FUD against it.
