Openmoko: The Open Source Phone

Forget the iPhone. Well, you can't really forget it, the internet is determined that it needs to be crammed down your throat. But, even if you don't forget the iPhone, take a look at it's competition, Openmoko Neo 1973.

Openmoko is an open source, Linux based, button-less cellphone. Don't let the open source title make you think it's free, it's not free, this bad boy will set you back $300. However, you might want to bear a few things in mind.

What things? First, this is Linux based, so there are plenty of free apps you can use on the phone, and there will be plenty developed. It uses both a touch (fingers) and stylus input. It uses MicroSD, so you can get up to 2GB of storage (though it comes with 512MB, as a matter of fact, you'd do well to see what else it comes with). It's also unlocked for any service, so you can call your company upon receipt and have yourself a working phone right away, the $300 price tag for this thing doesn't require a contract discount. It has a gorgeous looking 2.8" screen that has an amazing 640x480 resolution.

What this thing can do is nearly unlimited. Honestly, it's a pretty amazing looking piece of hardware, and I am strongly considering picking one up. The only thing that I don't like is that while it has open Bluetooth and USB connectivity, it does not have WiFi, which I would really like to have on my next phone. The next iteration, expected in a few months at a price of $450, will have an 802.11 adapter, 3-D Motion Sensors, and added graphics accelerators. Maybe I'll save my pennies and see what the next version brings.

Maybe it won't turn heads quite like the iPhone, at least not without explanation, but I would prefer personal satisfaction to a status symbol.


WoW on the iPhone?

Wow, WoW is lame, and playing on your iPhone is lamer. See it happen.

Wish I'd thought about this before....

The US Postal Service will actually give you free shipping materials.


'93 Lincoln Mark VIII w/ Rolling Door Concept.

I really wish this had gone to production. It's a great concept, and would love to do something like that with my car.


Pr0n and it's Relation to Your Social Life

This graph is pretty funny, and eerily accurate I think.


Light Graffiti

This is actually really impressive. I'd love to give it a try some time. All you need is some lights and do some time lapse. I think. I don't think it matters much how you do it, j


Little People

These are some interesting photos. I've seen some like them before, but it's still an interesting concept.


That's it for today.

I know that it's been a little weak this time around, but you know I'll keep coming back. As long as there is people on the interwebs looking, I'll be here.
