There is no final status, at least none that they'd have us know yet :] Reportedly some prototypes have BT chips, however this is no guarantee of anything. Maybe those prototypes failed miserably, maybe not :] > - What does it mean to be open source, will I be able to write my own > "hello world" ? Can run a bash shell and a ssh client?

You will need to add a microSD memory card if you want to install a significant amount of addon software. Don't know about the browser situation; Firefox is a bit big, but I suppose one _could_ install a version of it (given a microSD); the GUI would need some customizing a bit to fit. (Didn't the OLPC project do some work on a leaner Firefoo? Maybe useful. Ah well.) > - Will it have support for USB WiFi devices, since I assume there is > no wifi in the initial version. Should be workable, since OpenMoko runs a 2.6 Linux kernel with much of its potential hardware support, however you'd need to power the WiFi device externally since Neo's USB host will be unpowered. -- Mikko Rauhala - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - <URL:http://www.iki.fi/mjr/> Transhumanist - WTA member - <URL:http://www.transhumanism.org/> Singularitarian - SIAI supporter - <URL:http://www.singinst.org/> _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
