Hello Moko?

the openmoko

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
  • Calendar
  • 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.
