Next: Linux on the IPhone please.
Are there any Linux phones besides OpenMoko yet?
- jsjenkins168 19y agoSure, quite a few actually. The next big one is the new Motorola RAZR2 which is Linux powered. Here is an older list of some other phones: http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT9423084269.html http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT9423084269.html

- jsjenkins168 19y agoYeah, it just shows how far behind the US wireless industry still is compared to the rest of the world. If the US telcos would allow any device on their networks (like in other parts of the world), more cool devices like these would be available to consumers. Its a shame.

- gibsonf1 19y agoLinux on an Iphone doesn't make sense to me - the whole point of the Iphone is the interface built on top of the mac os - so a Linux iphone would just be strange as you would loose the coolness and just have a touch screen. Any clone (coming soon) would be a better platform to use Linux on a phone I think, and probably much less expensive.
