Hello Moko?
Now that we have gotten through the worst of our Iphone lust, what cool new upcoming gadgets can we drool over? I present to you… the OpenMoko, a linux based pdaphone that is exactly what the Iphone isnt… open and 3rd party friendly. Both sport some sleek lines, big touch screens, and a GSM friendly marketing scheme. While no specs are official yet, the claims from the website are as follows:
Hardware
- 120.7 x 62 x 18.5 (mm)
- 2.8″ VGA (480×640) TFT Screen
- Samsung s3c2410 SoC
- Global Locate AGPS chip
- Ti GPRS (2.5G not EDGE)
- Unpowered USB 1.1
- Touchscreen
- micro-sd slot
- 2.5mm audio jack
- 2 buttons
- 1200 mAh battery (charged over USB)
- 128 MB SDRAM
- 64 MB NAND Flash
Software
- Dialer
- Contacts
- Application Manager

- More…
While I normally dont post about cool linux phones that rarely make it to the market, there seems to be a serious need for a distraction from this Iphone buisness so that life around here can get back to normal. /*raises champaign glass*/ Heres to the OpenMoko, may you make it to the market and kick the Iphones ass.    Â
