I wish there was an open-source OS supporting phones like Nokia 1202 http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_1202-2573.php http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_1202-2573.php or cycle computers http://www.sigmasport.com/en/produkte/bikecomputer/topline_wired/bc1106/?punkt=details http://www.sigmasport.com/en/produkte/bikecomputer/topline_w... - tiny devices with dot matrix displays and traditionally limited capabilities.
I thought it's never going to happen (unless I get wealthy and support creating such a device, of course) but this one is close.
- striking 12y agoYou certainly could replace the memory chip of whatever device you want. Chances are, as long as it has a few necessary components (or code to emulate them) Linux will run pretty well.
- maxerickson 12y agoRockbox is also sort of close: http://www.rockbox.org/ http://www.rockbox.org/ I guess it already supports more chips and screen sizes than something aimed at TI calculators would.
- listic 12y agoBut can it really be called an operating system?
- maxerickson 12y agoI think so. There's a gameboy emulator in there: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/PluginRockboy http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/PluginRockboy I guess it would be more applicable to the bike computer use case than a phone. But who knows.
