Hello everyone,
Next week at CES we will formally preview GTA02 to the public. We are
doing this at an invitation-only media event, and not the general show
floor.
To coincide with this we are sending out a press release tomorrow morning.
The bulk of the press release discusses the hardware features of GTA02,
of which you are all well aware. I would like to let you know of two new
items:
1. GTA02 is given a name: FreeRunner
2. We think that FreeRunner will be available in spring. This is based
on our estimation of what remains to be done with regards to hardware
testing and software test.
We will be showing a prototype of GTA02 hardware, aimed at software
developers. It is not consumer-ready software. To quote the press
release: "The FreeRunner will be previewed at CES and ship later this
spring-- first to developers and then to end users as software for the
new hardware features becomes available."
Other minor updates:
We still have not received the signed agreement from TI allowing you to
upgrade your own GSM firmware, so those of you who need the new firmware
in order to use your SIM card should allow me to do it for you. Contact
me off-list for my shipping address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Want to help us close bugs? We have made a massive attempt to sort the
bugs in Bugzilla. A host of bugs that need work are owned by me
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and community participation on these is
particularly welcome. Some need to be fixed, some need to be confirmed
fixed or not reproducible, and others need a decision as to whether they
are worth fixing or not. Take a look at these bugs and let me know if
any speak to you.
That's all for now. If any of you will be at CES drop me a line and
we'll see if we can connect. We have a pretty busy schedule but I will
especially try to make time to see OpenMoko community members.
Best wishes,
Michael
