Linux on phones
By hub, Saturday 18 November 2006 at 13:49 :: Handhelds
Linux on phones is spreading.
- Installing GPE on a Motorola A780. But for now you lose the phone functionality.
- OpenMoko or the open source platform for cell-phone with a decent price. They claim to be exclusively open source. It is based on Linux and Gtk/X11 leveraging the OpenEmbedded platform. Some interesting point is that the phone module is separate and communicate with a serial connection.
Time to port AbiWord on GPE and OpenMoko? We already have a Maemo version.
