Dec 18 08:07:11 <CM> Didn'
Dec 18 08:07:24 <CM> t notice this wired article last friday: http://blog.wired.com/music/2006/12/first_linux_cel.html
Dec 18 09:49:48 <marcb4242> CM: funny thing is in one of the comments: "Keep in mind, without carrier support, you will have to pay full price for this device.  Expect $500-$800."
Dec 18 09:50:13 <marcb4242> CM: they will be positively surprised
Dec 18 09:50:32 <hrw|work> I count on developer discounts
Dec 18 09:51:06 <marcb4242> well, at least on wired not everybody is develoer ;-)
Dec 18 09:51:07 <CM> I just hope I can get my hands on one asap
Dec 18 09:51:22 <marcb4242> s/develoer/developer/
Dec 18 09:52:45 <CM> I just think it's good that the buzz about OpenMoko is spreading
Dec 18 09:54:05 <marcb4242> the guardian has an article that google is working on a gps phone, too. together with HTC.
Dec 18 09:54:14 <marcb4242> http://observer.guardian.co.uk/world/story/0,,1973885,00.html?gusrc=rss&feed=1
Dec 18 09:54:28 <marcb4242> ETA 2008 ;-)
Dec 18 09:56:06 <marcb4242> As much as I like google I'd be happy to have an open phone platform.
Dec 18 09:56:24 <CM> Of course :)
Dec 18 10:25:34 <apt_> marcb4242 meant: well, at least on wired not everybody is developer ;-)
Dec 18 10:25:48 <marcb4242> apt_: wow, that was fast
Dec 18 23:11:18 <ColdFyre> hi
Dec 18 23:11:26 <stefan_schmidt> hi ColdFyre 
Dec 18 23:11:34 <ColdFyre> im not a dev. but what exactly is this open moko
Dec 18 23:11:38 <ColdFyre> found very little aobut it
Dec 18 23:12:09 <ColdFyre> platform?
Dec 18 23:13:35 <stefan_schmidt> ColdFyre: Yes, OpenSource platform for cellphones running linux.
Dec 18 23:14:13 <stefan_schmidt> ColdFyre: Sponsored from FIC for their first linux cellphone. Neo1973. Will be shipped january 2007.
Dec 18 23:14:20 <ColdFyre> oh nice, cna it be used as a replacement for like ezx?
Dec 18 23:15:03 <stefan_schmidt> ColdFyre: heh, you ask the right guy. :) Yes, we will use it for OpenEZX once it is released.
Dec 18 23:15:52 <ColdFyre> nice. cant wait to spice up my a780 :)
Dec 18 23:15:59 <stefan_schmidt> heh
Dec 18 23:16:24 <stefan_schmidt> Still some work to be done on kernel level. But we are on the way.
Dec 18 23:18:06 <ColdFyre> one more reason i look down upon people buying sidekicks.
Dec 18 23:21:10 <ColdFyre> is there a demand for testers before the release?
Dec 18 23:22:13 <stefan_schmidt> Nothing I'm aware of. Guess it would come over the mailinglist if testers are needed.
Dec 18 23:23:04 <thedaniel_> ColdFyre: i imagine there's plenty of need for testers in about mid-jan - all you need to do is buy the device :)
Dec 19 02:17:08 <MacNorth> how/where can i buy a neo1973 once it's been released?
