The Freescale i.MX31 is a 534MHz ARM CPU with 3D graphics, and the full hardware specs are available for free download (hundreds of pages...). The homebrew mobile phone group are working on an open hardware module based on it, and we will port OpenMoko. This is taking place in "homebrew time" :-)
It make take a while to get OpenGL ES on open linux based phones, but I think that is the future goal to aim at. Adrian On 5/4/07, Arthur Marsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
