- ansible 11y agoThat was an attempt at a Linux-based phone before Android. It is very old (close to 10 years?).
- rtpg 11y agoWas more wondering about the accusation that the FCC shot down the effort. Google seems to show that it launched something, can't find any trace of controversy
- creshal 11y agoThe project itself didn't fail because it – that was just due to Android being more attractive by the time it was working –, but they never managed to opensource the baseband firmware for that reason.
- hackuser 11y agoSome follow-on and related projects: * GTA04 by OpenPhoenux (http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-main/ http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-main/) * Neo900 (http://neo900.org/ http://neo900.org/) * QTMoko (http://qtmoko.sourceforge.net/ http://qtmoko.sourceforge.net/) * SHR (http://shr-project.org/ http://shr-project.org/)
- wawi 11y agoThe OpenMoko project sort of fizzog'ed, but you can get a good kick out of the OpenPandora (and new: OpenPyra) projects, which the GTA04/neo guys have helped along a bit, I think .. http://openpandora.org/ http://openpandora.org/
