An anonymous reader writes with an update to the updated Openmoko
phone that's long been in the works. From the story at Linux For
Devices:
"German manufacturer Golden Delicious has begun shipping a hackable
open source smartphone that runs a variety of Linux software,
including a newly optimized Openmoko distro. The Openmoko GTA04 is
available as a finished phone or as a board that slips into earlier
Openmoko Neo Freerunner GTA01 and GTA02 cases, providing an 800MHz
Texas Instruments DM3730 processor and a full range of sensors and
wireless features."
It's rather expensive for a mid-range Android phone, but far more
interesting than fairly ordinary phones decked out with bling.

It's $999.00 USD.......
A total rip off, just like the original OpenMoko, the phone that
couldn't reliably make calls, was.
You Linux losers have yet another stinker on your hands.
