OpenMoko

The OpenMoko project (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Main_Page) looks
fascinating. I've downloaded the build environment with an eye to
getting a Squeak VM and image running on it.

The summary of the project:

"OpenMoko is an attempt to create the world's first completely open
mobile phone software stack. [...] OpenMoko is supposed to run on all
kinds of Linux-capable mobile phones. The first fully supported OpenMoko
phone is the FIC Neo1973."

The hardware will be available to developers in the next few weeks. The
first public release will be later in the year. All the software -
drivers included - is open-source.

Some highlights of the hardware:

- VGA resolution (480x640)
- Touchscreen + stylus
- GSM
- USB
- 266 (?) MHz ARM CPU
- 128 MB SDRAM
- 64 MB NAND flash
- wifi *may* be ready in time for the first iteration

An ideal portable network-enabled squeak machine, perhaps!

Re: OpenMoko

If only you could by one! I hope there will be
Python/Ruby/whatever-not-terrible-language bindings so you won't have
to use C (god I hate GObject) to hack it. Of course if someone made
Squeak/Smalltalk/F-Script bindings I would take that as well :)

Cheers
Philippe
