Openmoko to release Linux handset tomorrow
Anyone fond of creating their own applications within a open source environment will soon be able to get mobile. Openmoko has finally announced the launch date of its Neo FreeRunner open-source phone.
The Neo FreeRunner handset has been talked about since January, when the firm announced plans to develop a handset to run its open source phone software. And now Openmoko’s confirmed that the phone will be available tomorrow, 4 July.
Its handset runs on Linux and, according to Openmoko, will ship with “core software” for dialling, SMS and recording contacts. The firm also claims that periodic software downloads will help users “take full advantage of the phone’s hardware platform”.
