OpenMoko
Posted July 11th, 2007 by inksmithyOk, I talked a little bit about this in my post yesterday, but since then I've been doing a little bit of research on the subject and I have to say I'm getting very excited.
The device is a mobile phone called Neo1973.
Why would I be so excited about a mobile phone? That's a good question, considering that there are now far more models of a mobile phone than I am aware of. It is an especially good question when you consider it in context of the fact that I am writing this post on a mobile phone called an HTC Universal, which I love, insofar as I can possibly love an object.
The reason I am so excited about this Neo1973 is because of the system it runs, called OpenMoko.
Open Source Goodness - openmoko mobile phone.
Posted July 9th, 2007 by inksmithyOk, I've been fairly quiet on here recently for all sorts of reasons, a major one being the fact that my wife gave birth to my second son, a healthy baby boy. However, I have never seen so much, of so many different colours come from so many different directions as I have from this child.
The reason for this post is something which has only just become available today. Its something I believe in to the core of my heart, even more than being a Jedi.
The reason I say that (the Jedi thing) is in a census the Australian government carried out a few years ago, a circular email came round telling people that if enough people said they were Jedi Knights in the 'Religion' section of the census, the government would have to recognise it as a religion. I don't know whether its now a recognised religion, but the idea tickled me and since then, whenever a form has asked my religion I've put down 'Jedi Knight'. My way of saying 'None of your business' I guess.
Anyway, the reason for this post is a device called the Open Moko, which stands for Open Mobile Kommunication. I know there should be a C in there, but it wouldn't have the ring if it did.
