OpenMoko, the guys behind the 100% open source software and hardware Neo 1973, are going to introduce the Neo FreeRunner at CES. Two versions will be made, each has a 500 MHz processor, WiFi, accelerometers, 3D hardware acceleration, but one will be triband 850 MHz with the other being 900 MHz. The only Linux based mobile phone platform worth talking about is Android and I feel that people are not gong to give Sean Moss-Pultz the attention his work deserves.
The entire Linux smartphone arena baffles me. I ultimately want to understand it and group all of the players into one catagorey “Linux smartphones,” but that space is even more fragmented than Java.
